Source

Curio - this page was cited by the New Zealand Herald as a major source in a 24/9/05 article about the Skyhawk. :-)

Malaysian Skyhawks.

Thank you for the enthusiastic contribution made about Malasyian A4s.

I have taken the liberty of correcting some of your English.

The scentence; "The aircraft was sold for USD34 million dollars in the early 80s", I had had to remove because it was impossible to work out who sold which aircraft to who.

Please by all means add this information back in, but please make it clear Who sold the aircraft? (U.S., Malaysia?) Which aircraft? (PTM, or other, or both?) Who bought the aircraft? (Malaysia? Another nation?)

YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 07:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

another use in fiction?

Was the A4 the aircraft used in the 'Top Gun' spoof 'Hot Shots: Part Deux'?

John Travolta

As I understand it, John Travolta, who is a licensed pilot, attempted to purchase a Skyhawk. I don't believe he actually did. Perhaps this tidbit of info can be added. 66.44.10.213 00:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)Thanks,[reply]
