A U.S. Navy Douglas A-4E <i>Skyhawk</i> from either Attack Squadron 55 (VA-55) "Warhorses" or VA-56 "Champions" aboard the aircraft carrier USS <i>Ticonderoga</i> (CVA-14). Both squadrons were assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing 5 (CVW-5) aboard the <i>Ticonderoga</i> for a deployment to the Western Pacific and Vietnam from 14 April to 15 December 1964. Unusual about this aircraft is that it carries five large drop tanks.
