Since 1991 BAe Systems (former Tractor Flight
Systems Inc) has had a contract with the German Air
Force to fly visual target missions for German Air
Force.
These "N-registered" (USA) planes serve
the German Air Force for air to air gunnery training
and education of military air traffic control
officers. Due to
its high speed, good maneuverability and long
operating time, the A-4 is perfectly suited for this
role. Typically, two underwing tanks are carried. At
the fuselage station electronic decoy pods or
winches for target towing can be fitted.
The contract with German Armed
Forces ended in December 2014th. BAe sells their six
A-4N Skyhawk to Draken International Inc of the USA.
