During Bay of Pigs VA-34 A-4B Skyhaks from the USS Essex flew a CAP/ escort mission with the intention of protecting the Rebal A-26 Invaders but due to a timing cock up were an hour late and missed engaging the Cuban T-33A fighters. They also flew multiple reconnaissance flights over the invasion beach throughout the incident. Due to President Kennedy insisting that there be no proof of US involvement the Skyhawks had their USN markings painted over. This was one of the first VSF Skyhawk detachments and the A-4B could not carry the AIM-9 at this point so Skyhawks operating over Cuba just had two wing drop tanks plus thier 20mm cannons.

Yes its in the campaign, its already there as apart of OTS mod

Looks good mate!

2.3: - New AGM-78D model (thanks ravenclaw_007!!!) Data/ loadout/ campaign ini adjusted accordingly. * (Kurnass 78 & 2000 will now use AGM-78D but AGM-78D Egrof Sagol is still included for use by Israeli F-16D as it is a rail launched version. The standard AGM-78D will drop and then fire but still use the ARM rail correctly on the Kurnass 78 & 2000 - Texture corrections for F-4E Kurnass 78 & F-4E Kurnass 2000 drop tanks.

Check out the TW lighting F.1 data.ini but I may have steered you wrong now that I think about it

My only suggestion is instead of a fake fuel tank use a fake rocket pod with no rockets. This way your pylons will stay when you jettison your fuel tanks (ctrl-d) but jettison when you jettison all your air-to-ground ordnance (ctrl-j). By being empty the AI won't try and use them as an actual rocket pod.
