LTV A-7 Corsair II
The
Ling-Temco-Vought A-7 Corsair II
was a carrier-capable subsonic light
attack aircraft
introduced to replace the
Douglas A-4 Skyhawk
. The A-7 airframe design was based on the successful
supersonic
Vought F-8 Crusader
, although it was somewhat smaller and rounded off. The Corsair II initially entered service with the
United States Navy
during the
Vietnam War
. It was later adopted by the
United States Air Force
, including the
Air National Guard
, to replace the
Douglas A-1 Skyraider
,
North American F-100 Super Sabre
and
Republic F-105 Thunderchief
. The aircraft was also exported to
Greece
in the 1970s, and
Portugal
in the late 1980s.
