Singapore did purchase quite a few A4's/TA4's from the US Navy in the mid/late 1970's. I was stationed at NAS Lemoore '73-'76 where the Singapore pilots received training in the A4. Why is this photo labeled Singapore TA-4 when it has US Navy markings? Just curious.

Actually that's an E-2 (Hawkeye), not a C-2 (Greyhound) in the foreground. The give-away is the skinnier fuselage and the "air scoop" centered on the fuselage just aft of the red propeller warning stripe. Both the E-2 and C-2 are still operational though.
