A-3 SKYWARRIOR ASSOCIATION
 

Founded in 1998, the purpose of this association is to provide an ongoing, fraternal-social affiliation of individuals who have flown in, maintained, fostered, encouraged, and supported the memory of the A-3 “Skywarrior” aircraft, and who are dedicated to the perpetuation of the legend, history, traditions, and camaraderie associated with it. The A-3 Skywarrior Association is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization.


The Douglas A-3 Skywarrior — descriptively nicknamed the “Whale”— was the largest combat aircraft routinely catapulted off and recovered on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Originally designed for nuclear bombing missions, over 35 years of service saw its many uses include attack bombing, aerial refueling, carrier onboard delivery, jamming, photo-reconnaissance, electronic surveillance, VIP transport and aggressor training.

Please spend some time exploring our website for more information on the association and its activities, including to how to become a member. For inquiring minds, there’s also a wealth of historical photos and data.
