Cooool...

A bit of info on these two jets; 888, or 154909 suffered a ditching in May 1979 from the carrier HMAS Melbourne and 887, or 154908 was sold to the RNZAF and became A-4K NZ6214, which was sold to Draken Aviation after the NZDF retired its strike aircraft in 2001 after a period in storage outside at RNZAF Base Woodbourne. It still flies in the United States.
