(The following is a fictional history of a fictional aircraft.)
Almost as soon as the FIRAF and FIRNAA began acquiring the A-4E Skyhawk in numbers, it was decided to begin upgrading the aircraft, due to the A-4E’s lack of all-weather combat capability and the increasing age and cost of the J52 powerplant. McDonnell Douglas and Intelani Aeronautics planned the upgrade as a joint project, as McDonnell Douglas saw the export potential in such an aircraft. The project was designated A-4ES (Enhanced Skyhawk); the six testbeds were a mix of “flatback” A-4Es and “humpback” A-4Fs.
The upgrade was extensive, with the entire nose section of the A-4 redesigned from the intakes forward, incorporating an entirely new structure. The cockpit was enlarged slightly (similar to the A-4M) and the canopy made largely frameless, with a new teardrop shape added. The interior was completely reworked, with an instrument panel incorporating two multifunction displays, the addition of a multimode HUD, HOTAS, and a radar scope just below the HUD. This was due to the addition of an entirely new, also multimode radar: the APG-66, the same radar used on the F-16A. Like early models of the F-16, the A-4ES was to lack the ability to carry radar-guided missiles, limiting it to only the AIM-9 Sidewinder, but this was deemed adequate.
Behind the nose, other modifications were made. Due to minaturization, the “humpback” of the A-4F was no longer necessary, and so was deleted, though a small hump just past the midway point was added to incorporate the Have Quick radio system. An ILS antenna was added just behind the cockpit, but the biggest change in the fuselage was the addition of a USAF-style boom refuelling plug, with fuel tanks suitably altered. This allowed the A-4ES to refuel from either boom/plug or probe/drogue tankers, making it a “hermaphrodite." ALR-66 radar warning recievers and ALR-39 chaff/flare dispensers were also added.
Finally, the engine was upgraded from the J52 turbojet to a more fuel-efficient and quieter General Electric F404 turbofan. This gave the A-4ES a higher combat speed, increased warload, and thirty percent reduction in takeoff time, giving the Skyhawk better short-field takeoff/landing capability. Because landing speed was also somewhat higher, a brake parachute housing was added beneath the engine, though this was not always necessary to use. The SA-77C’s rearward-facing camera system was also added at the base of the tail, but this retained the same tendency to go out during high-G manuevers, though it was retained throughout the A-4ES’ service.
The first modified A-4ES was rolled out in March 1984, and performed “almost flawlessly,” according to a test pilot; one of the prototypes was taken over Mach 1 in a shallow dive in May, proving that the Skyhawk was capable of this speed, though actual use of supersonic speed was rare in service. With the Third World War looming on the horizon, the FIRAF and FIRNAA cancelled additional upgrades such as the use of Israeli-style DEFA 552 30mm cannon, retaining the Colt Mk 12, though many A-4ES would be field-refitted with the newer and more reliable M39A2. The FIRAF immediately placed an order for 40 upgraded A-4ES (to be done by cycling the FIRAF’s A-4Es already in use), while the FIRNAA also opted for upgrading its remaining 30 A-4Es, along with 18 new conversions, both in June 1984. This was almost immediately followed by an “emergency” order for 36 more A-4ES for the FIRAF a month later, with war imminent. Even with this, conversion did not begin until after the war broke out, with the 1st Fighter Squadron being the first recipient in December 1984.
The reliability and especially low cost of the A-4ES made it a natural choice as both the FIRAF and FIRNAA began expanding expotentially during the Third World War; demand for new Skyhawks was such that McDonnell Douglas’ Long Beach plant simply couldn’t keep pace, and subsequently new conversion lines were opened at Intelani Aeronautics. Sagely, Minister of Defense Akela Canis ordered an expansion of the FIRAF and FIRNAA anticipating a three-year war in November 1984 and three carrier battlegroups for the FIRNAA. As a result, the FIRAF now placed an additional “emergency” order for 48 A-4ES in that same month, with a final order for 48 more aircraft placed in March 1985, both to form more squadrons and as attrition replacements. Likewise, the FIRNAA’s orders also expanded to 72 more aircraft for the same reason, with this order placed in January 1985.
Eventually, no less than 301 A-4s were ordered: 181 for the FIRAF, and 120 for the FIRNAA. These conversions came from initially ex-US Navy A-4Es (eventually, two-thirds of the available A-4E airframes would be converted), ex-US Navy and Marine Corps A-4Fs, and even 52 ex-US Navy A-4Ls, themselves conversions of early A-4Bs. The latter were converted to A-4ES standards by adding a nose plug and refurbishing the wing to carry five hardpoints.
Against the MiG-23 and later the MiG-29/Su-27 series, the A-4ES was at a distinct disadvantage, and as the F-15 and F-31 entered FIRAF service, the Skyhawk was increasingly taken off of fighter duties and relegated to close air support and strike missions. This did not mean that the Skyhawk couldn’t defend itself, and Soviet Frontal Aviation pilots were warned to use caution in engaging Skyhawks that had dropped their ordnance. Though the A-4ES was capable of carrying Paveway LGBs, it usually employed “dumb” GP bombs.
Following the end of the Third World War, and the increasing availability of modern fighters such as the F-16 and F-31, the need for the A-4ES had declined considerably, and units chosen for deactivation in the FIRAF were generally A-4ES operators. From the end of the war in June 1987 to June 1989, A-4ES strength fell from eleven squadrons to two. The FIRNAA divested itself of all of its A-4s, with all nine operational squadrons reequipping with F-14Cs, F/A-18Cs, and A-6Es by February 1990.
The FIRAF retained two squadrons of A-4ES: the 63rd Fighter Squadron, which used its Skyhawks in the fast FAC role, and the 1st Aggressor Squadron, which used its aircraft in dissimilar fighter training. The 63rd FS’ Skyhawks were upgraded to A-4ESA standard, though this designation was not used outside of Intelani Aeronautics; this involved upgrading the radio suite for the FAC role and some of the avionics. These aircraft would see action during the First Gulf War. The A-4ES would remain in service with the 63rd FS until December 1994, when they were replaced by F-16Cs. The Aggressors would keep their Skyhawks a little longer, though numbers were reduced by attrition and age to only six aircraft by its retirement in October 1996.
As a big fan of the A-4 series (one of my first toys was a diecast A-4F), I wanted to build a Skyhawk kit, but there were none available in my preferred 1/144 scale. I found an old Tamiya 1/100 scale A-4E, which was good enough. Conversion to the "A-4ES" wasn't difficult, adding a few bumps for ECM and inflight refuelling, and painting on the "extended" canopy to change the profile of the nose. I replaced the bent inflight refuelling probe with a "stowed" version from a Tornado IDS kit. The two AIM-9D Sidewinders came from a 1/100 A-7 kit, which along with drop tanks, are the aircraft's ordnance load. For my fictional color scheme, I picked Ferris Splinter, a camouflage experimented with by the US Navy in the mid-1980s to break up the profile of an aircraft (and named for its designer, aviation artist Keith Ferris). I added some nose art and a tail logo, and voila, my first A-4 kit.
Thankfully, we missed the Polar Vortex that hit Chi-town recently and was able to enjoy an impactful media preview of the latest industry vehicles during the 2019 Chicago Auto Show at McCormick Place, the Nation’s largest show. Exciting, newfangled rides and press conferences were presented by Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Chrysler, Ford, VW, Toyota, Ram, Acura, Harley-Davidson F-150, Chevrolet, Alfa Romeo, Kia and Hyundai. Turtle Wax was also on deck to showcase their revolutionary car care products.
A derivate of the Multifunction Self Protection System (MUSS) is used on the "Valkyrie".
MUSS consists of three main elements: the sensors, consisting of laser warner and a missile warner using ultraviolet sensors, the computer, and the electronic or pyrotechnic countermeasures. When the sensors detect an incoming missile or a laser beam aimed at the vehicle, the computer activates the countermeasures. MUSS offers 360° protection with elevation up to 70° and can handle up to four threats at once.
(Source: Wikipedia)
Furthermore to enhance its survivability, the "Valkyrie" features an electronic countermeasures system, which is in particular radio- and counter-IED-jamming equipment. This second ability eliminates the need for a separate counter-IED-unit in low-intensity conflict zones when the vehicle is part of a convoy or a mechanised patrol

A fish-eye series at the botanical garden green houses, Parc de la Tete d'Or, Lyon, France, on February 3, 2023.
I own this Minolta lens MD 1:2.8 f=16mm Fish-Eye since April 2014 (flic.kr/s/aHsjYBkn5J) but I only used adapted to one of my two Sony A7 bodies and I never did a film with it. The 180° view-angle is obtained in the image diagonal. The lens includes a build-in filter rotatory system with a yellow "Y52", a red "R60" and a blue "B12" filter on addition to the normal non-filtered position.
For this film, the lens is mounted on one of my two Minolta X-700, the "China" version (assembled in China 1993-1999). The camera was also equipped with its motor drive MD1 and the Minolta multi-function back. The X-700 was loaded with a B&W super-panchromatic Rollei Retro 400S (Agfa Aviphot 400) 36-exposure film.
The Agfa Aviphot film used for aerial photography is specially sensitized in the red, up to 780nm in the near IR instead of the regular 650-680 nm limit of a normal panchromatic film. The film provides usually high-definition and high-contrast negative views. What is more, the Agfa Aviphot is coated on a thin and flat polyester base without any base color increasing the contrast as well. However to prevent the halation possible the Agfa Aviphot is coated on the backside with a black and blue anti-halation pigment to inhibit the light back diffusion (halation). The printing from a data back was tested here to print the hour on the two-first frames setting the intensity to the medium value available (3 diamonds) on the Minolta multi-function back (there are 6 levels of intensity available).
The red R60 filter was used for most of the views. Exposures were determined using the TTL system of the Minolta X-700 in the manual mode, privileging the shadow areas.
Grande Serre Tropicale, February 3, 2023
Jardin Botanique de Lyon
Parc de la Tête d'Or
69006 Lyon
France
After exposures the film was processed using Adox Adonal (strictly equivalent to Agfa Rodinal "R09") developer at dilution 1+50, 20°C for 22min. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were then processed in LR and finally edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.

When I fly, I am constantly aware of those who came before me. My dad soloed in 1961. A lot has changed since then, but a lot hasn't. Sure, we have GPS, multifunction displays, data link weather and traffic information, all kinds of new technology now. But despite the technological advances of the last century, the fundamentals of flying have changed little. The properties of aerodynamics never change and the techniques used by pilots today have been around since the beginning. It is always reassuring to know that the type of plane I fly was first produced in 1956. The wing slices the air the same today as it did then. In over half a century nothing has come along that fundamentally improves upon it. When I push on the rudder and twist the ailerons a certain way, I know that hundreds of thousands of pilots have done it the same way countless times. It makes me feel so connected to my forebears. It is an art form passed on from generation to generation. I first flew with my dad in 1973 when I was three years old. I feel his presence every time I get in the cockpit. He is there watching over me, whispering in my ear "watch your airspeed son, don't get too slow, a little more rudder, now coordinate with aileron, that's it". I love you Dad.
Don't forget to check out my friend. You may remember her from earlier in my stream. Anyway, she's awesome.
