Brazilian A-4 Skyhawks are still operational and in action. The link below brings an extensive report on the operation and modernization program of the Brazilian A-4s, as well as tons of photos. I recommend the visit, well-written report, with text rich in details and many detailed photos of the aircraft.

Best regards!

I didn't think anyone was still flying the A-4, great aircraft but they must be nearing the end of their operational life by now unless someone is still manufacturing replacement parts for them.

So did South Africa buy the Gripen, but don't have the pilots to fly them, all the qualified pilots because of affirmative action took their retirement package and left the SAAF.
