The Ling-Temco-Vought A-7 Corsair II is a carrier-based subsonic light attack aircraft introduced to replace the United States Navy's A-4 Skyhawk, initially entering service during the Vietnam War. The Corsair was later adopted by the United States Air Force, to include the Air National Guard, to replace the A-1 Skyraider, F-100 Super Sabre and F-105 Thunderchief. The aircraft was also exported to Greece in the 1970s, and Portugal and Thailand in the late 1980s. The A-7 airframe design was based on the successful supersonic F-8 Crusader produced by Chance Vought. It was one of the first combat aircraft to feature a head-up display (HUD), an inertial navigation system (INS), and a turbofan engine.

The A-7 is often mistaken for an F-8 Crusader. The F-8 is longer and sleaker. It's a beautiful plane, and makes the Corsair look a bit frumpy if placed side by side.
It was a small image [1024 x 768] when I started and had I to mess with it a lot in Photoshop to cover up and eliminate all the fuzziness as I could when I enlarged it, so the dirt and the look of neglect is a cover up. Plus I thought it looked cool like it has seen a lot of action.
