[He shut off his engines]
One of the last things I want to do is defend the scumbag McCain, so I won’t, but whoever wrote that isn’t very well informed if they think an A-4 Skyhawk has “engines”.
I’m with you...that is almost funny, but I didn’t pick up on it (the “engines” thing). We don’t have to defend him, but defending the truth makes it harder for McCain to defend what he has actually done, IMO.
The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a single seat subsonic carrier-capable attack aircraft developed for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. The delta winged, single turbojet engined Skyhawk was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Company, and later by McDonnell Douglas. It was originally designated A4D under the U.S. Navy’s pre-1962 designation system.
