Great Pics, Damon. Is that J-52 engine a P-6 or a P-8B. If I remember correctly in the early years of the TA-4 series the aircraft used both series of engine. In the later years only the P-8B at 9900 lbs of thrust. Some TA-4J aircraft may have gotten the P408 at 11,200 LBs of thrust

Judging by what I saw of the TA4 in the hanger looks like they got some spare parts for it, Tail Pipes, Tail Planes, Landing gear doors, ECT.
