A-4E or AD-2 ?
VA-106 flew the A-4E from November 1966 so it's very surprising to consider a German filming able to see the latest up-to-date Skyhawk and the production issuing this in less a month ! (... and the aircraft lacks two pylons as the -E had five pylons). More probably A-4B or C. The last picture, Bureau Number is visible : 5011 stands for 145011 (not 155011, a Douglas A-4F Skyhawk which never was on strengh of the VA-106 !). So this is an archive footage shot between 1958 and December 1962.
The Squadron were actually assigned to (and so mostly seen on) USS Shangri-La but during the Cuban Missile Crisis their Skyhawk being then on the USS Lexington (CV-16).
