Wound up

In his wonderful and diminutive Douglas A-4C Skyhawk, Pilot Paul Wood makes a superb topside pass during the 2017 NAS Pensacola Airshow

 

Aka 'The Scooter' this Skyhawk was so small it didn't need any folding wings as in other carrier-borne aircraft and wears former US Navy marks of BuAerNo. 148609/NP685 from Attack Squadron VA-76 when aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard

 

She now flies with The Warbird Heritage Foundation on the US civilian FAA register as N49WH and is seen here at the start of Pensacola's Evening Airshow - cleaned up and wound up with the power on in the rapidly depleting light
