Douglas A-4 Skyhawk
  • Gulf War 1991
  • Kuwait Air Force
  • A-4KU - modified A-4M for Kuwait Air Force
  • Kuwait bought thirty A-4KU and six TA-4KU in 1976 and used them until 1997.
  • During Operation Desert Storm,  Kuwait Skyhawks flew attack missions against the advancing Iraqi forces from deserted roads after their bases were overrun. Twenty-four of the 29 A-4KUs escaped to Saudi Arabia. The escaped Skyhawks (along with escaped Dassault Mirage F1s) operated as the Free Kuwait Air Force, flying 1,361 sorties during the liberation of Kuwait.
  • Only one A-4KU (KAF-828, BuNo. 160207) shot down by Iraqi radar-guided SAM on 17 January 1991. The pilot, Mohammed Mubarak, ejected and was taken prisoner.
  • 20 Kuwaiti Skyhawks were later sold to Brazil (redesignated them AF-1), where they served aboard the aircraft carrier NAe São Paulo prior to its decommissioning in February 2017.
  • Kuwait Skyhawks were replaced by F/A-18 Hornet in 1997.
