Cor.. you plain just can't do it that way in an A-4... if you sat on the 
canopy rail you'd have a sill 12" long to sit on, and swing around.  A-4's 
are *tiny* in the cockpit department!  You really do "strap the jet on" 
rather than getting into it ;-)

You are right there is a correct way to climb into a cockpit, I have
never really known any real fighter pilot to stand on a seat as for the
chap that said he flew A4,s or was it F 4;s I am not sure he is telling
the truth in when I was with the RN we do it this way 
1&nbsp;&nbsp; put your bum on the railing 
2 reach over with your left hand and grab the other side of the cockpit
they are not that big 
3 place your right hand on same side as you are climbing in 
4 lift your leg over the panels and slide in watching your nuts do not
get caught on the stick 
then get strapped in simple as that
