A Few Words–Please Read
Postimg.org had a registry problem about a year ago and they had to move to Postimg.cc.
All photos are still available; but, the "CC" must be subtituted for "ORG" in the corresponding URL address to get to the proper place. (Hold cursor over link to get URL address or change in address line.) Postimg.org becomes Postimg.cc.
Also... any URLs with the prefix "old." need to have that removed completely as well. IE, old.postimg.org/ should be amended to postimg.cc
Let me know if I need to fix any links beyond the dozens that I have already fixed.

About Me
My name is Ron Downey. I am a retired Aeronautical Engineer who worked for McDonnell Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas Corp for 40 years and collected many photos, info and brochures of their products. While the F-4 is my favorite, I have many other MDC items and these will be scanned and presented here. In addition, I have been an aviation historian for most of my adult life and I have amassed a large amount of info over my 50+ years of collecting and will be bringing that here also. My aim is to bring aviation material (Photos, articles; etc) to this blog before it is lost; but, not in-depth explanations as any good search engine can be used for that purpose. I may be contacted at: aviationarchives(at)gmail.com
Copyright and Photo Credits
As all of this info was originally for my use only in order to build plastic scale models, I never paid too much attention to copyrights or proper photo credits. Therefore, if something is not credited correctly, please let me know and I will be happy to delete or properly credit the material. (I have in my possession all the items and original material and these are all new scans, except where noted.) All photos and info are credited to McDonnell Douglas/The Boeing Company unless otherwise noted. Feel free to use any of this info with the credit of Ron Downey via Aviation Archives. I can be reached at: aviationarchives(at)gmail.com.

Just a bit of minutiae: During the time especially the beginning years of the A4G Skyhawk in the RAN FAA service, the A4G was always spelt thusly because typing any hyphen on a manual typewriter could be awkward as well as mostly at that time late 1960s/early 1970s the USN also tended to 'skip the hyphen'. :-)
One may see my comment in text at the top of page 15 about the 'holes on the wrong side of the page'. :-) 724 refers to VC-724 Squadron at NAS Nowra, at the time the training squadron for jets which initially had Sea Venoms and Vampires, then Skyhawks and Macchi MB326H aircraft mixed and matched while eventually by the end of 1972 the Venoms/Vampires were gone. The TA4Gs remained on VC-724/VC724 because they could not be used aboard HMAS Melbourne as the deck length was too short for the nose wheel to lift off before in finished (bad for night ops especially).
At Emerson Electric we looked into adding the APG-69 Radar to this aircraft for New Zealand who inherited the aircraft from Australia in the 1980s
