Northern Germany probably isn’t the first place you’d think of to look for a U.S. Navy and Marine Corps classic attack jet. However, contract aggressor company Top Aces flies a squadron of deeply upgraded Douglas A-4N Skyhawks to support European air arms for their “red air” training needs.
Nearly 3,000 A-4s were built between 1956 and 1979, and TWZ’s Jamie Hunter traveled to the Germany Navy base at Nordholz for the latest episode of our “Special Access” to witness some of the last, and by far the most modern, Skyhawks operating up close.
There he learned what it was like operating the iconic but nearly antique jets against some of the world’s most capable fighters. He also discovered that significant developments are on the horizon for Top Aces in Europe, principally the arrival of F-16s that will further enhance the company’s aggressor services for its growing list of European customers.

北德可能不是你首先会想到会找到美国海军和海军陆战队经典攻击机的地方。然而，一家名为“顶级王牌”（Top Aces）的假想敌作战公司，却在那里运营着一个中队的道格拉斯A-4N“天鹰”攻击机，这些战机经过了深度升级，为欧洲各国空军的“红方”训练提供支持。
从 1956 年到 1979 年，共生产了近 3000 架 A-4 攻击机。TWZ 的 Jamie Hunter 前往德国诺德霍尔茨海军基地，为我们最新一期的“特别报道”节目，近距离见证了最后一批也是迄今为止最现代化的天鹰攻击机的运行。
在那里，他体验了驾驶这些标志性但近乎古董的喷气式飞机与世界上一些最强大的战斗机对抗的感受。他还了解到，Top Aces在欧洲即将迎来重大发展，主要是F-16战斗机的到来，这将进一步提升该公司为其日益增长的欧洲客户提供的假想敌服务。
