"Draken's first operational A-4K, N145EM, formerly Royal New Zealand Air Force NZ-6215 also traces its history back to the Royal Australian Navy as an A-4G 871, BuNo is 155052.

Under the centerline station is a D-704 refueling store or buddy pod. Draken successfully tested the D-704 refueling system and performed "practice plugs" with TA-4K N141EM on 24 July 2013. Draken International is unique in having this capability in the world of Commercial Air Service companies."

Something some old timers thought not to see - but hey live long enough and you will. EX-A4G (actually probably ex-USN then ex-A4G [small probability it is an original A4G] then ex-A-4K turned to KAHU then DRAKEN) with USAF F-35A at NELLIS AFB probably recently.
