A Douglas A-4 Skyhawk carrying a Mark 7 “Thor” tactical fission bomb. The Skyhawk used a method called “toss bombing” to lob the bomb in an arcing trajectory, so the aircraft could evade the blast effect when the bomb detonated.

Douglas A-4E Skyhawk

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a single seated subsonic Carrier-capable attack aircraft, developed for the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

It had a wingspan of about

27 ft, 6 in (8.38 m)

It was also

40ft 4in (12.29 m) in length and 15 ft, 10 in (4.57 m) in height.

This badboy is a pretty lightweight aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds [11,100 KG for you non Americans] and has a top speed of more than, 670 miles per hour. [1,080 Km/h] This aircraft carries a variety of missles bombs and other munitions. It was capable of carrying a bomb load equivalent to that of a World War II-era Boeing B-17 bomber, and could deliver nuclear weapons using a low altitude bombing system and a “loft” delivery technique.

Skyhawks played key roles in the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, and the Falklands War. Sixty years after the aircraft’s first flight, some of the nearly 3,000 produced remain in service with several air arms around the world, including from the Brazilian Navy’s aircraft carrier, São Paulo.

[Please note that criticism is welcome! I'm just trying my best. On another note, the image depicted above is the A-4 and not the A-4E. Despite the slight name diffrence you will see the visual differences on the planes!]

The LTV (A-7) "Corsair" II 🇺🇲, was an attack aircraft created for aircraft carriers, designed by Ling-Temco-Vought and was introduced to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk in the US naval service. It's based on the successful F-8 Crusader naval fighter produced by Chance Vought, under a concept by David Harold Byrd.
