No....ATSI is a separate company out of Phoenix, AZ that flies only A-4Ns.
ATAC is based out of Newport News, VA but has 'bases' at Pt. Mugu, CA and over in K-Bay, Hawaii (they also keep two airplanes over in Japan but no permanent personnel). ATAC flies 3 different aircraft - Kfir, A-4L/N, and Hawker Hunters.

Copy - thanks. I guess they are similar in that they both provide tactical flight services to the military, but seems like ATAC has more variety and does a wider range of missions. Seems like a cool job. Fly safe.

Default ATAC videos

It seems that ATAC may have stopped flying the various versions of the A-4 SkyHawk which they flew for many years. I hate to see the end of SkyHawk flying as it was a wonderful jet.

Here are two different promotional videos from the company posted on YouTube. They use a lot of the same footage, but I enjoy the clips. In the first one you see some quick shots of the A-4Ns they flew. In the second, you'll see they don't mention/show the A-4s at all and instead show a picture of the newly acquired L-39s.

I wish they had highlighted the Scooter more in the propaganda. It performed more missions for the company and the Hawker Hunter is like a King Air or C-130 - the true workhorse of the fleet - but as usual - sexy wins more attention I guess.
