That’s an odd configuration. One AIM-9? No AIM-120s? Strike load?
It can happen. Chuck's list is interesting though because it makes it seem like they were still building H-2s into the late 80's. Google seems to agree. I didn't realize they were still being made that late given we were already taking delivery of the Bravo by then.

Contrast these dirty blue collar A-4s with the beautiful and well maintained modernized A-4 Red Air aggressors in Europe!I may have posted this somewhere many years ago, but in an effort to keep things going......two A-4E's from NFWS with a TA-4 from VA-127 out of NAS Lemoore enroute to the overhead at the former NAS Miramar after a TOPGUN training mission. Photo taken from a TA-4 from VC-12 (later VFC-12) out of NAS Oceana, early1985, when I was going through the Adversary Course.View attachment 46417
