It's a single seat A-4E Skyhawk, better known as a "scooter" NAS Cubi Point, Philippines, VC5 Checkertails around 1977-78
We towed targets, did DACM ops with other planes, and had "pods" (RSS and JEEP) that would simulate missile search radar when the plane flew missile attack profiles at ships, also dropped chaff. We made Dets to Kadena AFB on Okinawa, boring and hot as hell, did get to see Habu takeoff and land.
