I can see the Kfirs and the A-4s but the Hunter seems an odd bird in the mix unless they are using it as a low-level ingressor.

I've seen the Kfirs around for years - especially in Oceana, but I only recently heard of the A-4Ns used for CAS training/JTAC training. This is right up my alley. Thanks for the response III Corps.

Would you care to share your background and how you got on with ATAC and finally your experiences - good and bad - while you were there? Touching on the common questions of QOL, pay, types of flying, locations, etc.... might be helpful to some on APC.
