Here's one I spotted on airliners.net early this morning. It's a pair of former IDF A-4Ns, operated by BAE Systems:

Nice! Does anyone know offhand where they are based?

Wittmundhafen in Germany. BAE contract out the A-4's as target tugs to the Luftwaffe.

If like me you're a sucker for beautiful coffeetable book type pictures of Navy and Marines aircraft and helos in action, you MUST download Northrop Grumman's amazing FLY NAVY calendar, with about 30 hi-res photographs by Erik Hildebrandt (well, most of them):

http://www.northropgrumman.com/naval100/assets/FLY_NAVY_calendar.pdf

You can then select a picture or a background, copy-paste it in an image software, save it to BMP and use it as your wallpaper.

Believe me, you'll be glad you did!

The Gepard (German for cheetah) has reached its end of service life with the Bundeswehr after 37 years of service. To commemorate this event, one was painted in a special scheme for its last live shooting at the 4. International Army Air Defence Symposium held at Lütjenburg/Schleswig-Holstein.
