So I wake up from a nap, come downstairs and see an A4 Skyhawk on my screen.
Looks like they have other aircraft too...
Turns out we have a Canadian Aggressor company..

Jason,
Discovery have a training contract with the German Air Force
http://www.discoveryair-ds.com/page?a=1395&lang=en-CA
and 6 A-4's have been through Prestwick recently. Two were eastbound in November and 4 westbound on one day in December 3rd that I managed to photograph. Hopefully the one you picked up is heading this way as I noted it on the network in Arizona before Christmas.
