In October 1973, the Israeli Air Force was losing A-4 Skyhawks at a catastrophic rate. The culprit? A $20 Soviet missile that cost less than a McDonald's catering order. With weeks before their fleet would be combat-ineffective, Israeli engineers walked out to the flight line and invented a solution that looked ridiculous, cost almost nothing, and saved dozens of pilots' lives. This is the story of the A-4N Ayit's tailpipe hack.
