The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft designed and manufactured byLing-Temco-Vought (LTV). The A-7 was developed during the early 1960s as replacement for the Douglas A-4Skyhawk. Its design was derived from the Vought F-8 Crusader; in comparisonwith the F-8, the A-7 is both smaller and restricted to subsonic speeds, itsairframe being simpler and cheaper to produce. Following a competitive bid byVought in response to the United States Navy's (USN) VAL (Heavier-than-air,Attack, Light) requirement, an initial contract for the type was issued on 8February 1964. Development was rapid, first flying on 26 September 1965 andentering squadron service with the USN on 1 February 1967; by the end of thatyear, A-7s were being deployed overseas for the Vietnam War.

Initially adopted by USN, the A-7 proved attractive to other services, soonbeing adopted by the United States Air Force (USAF) and the Air National Guard(ANG) to replace their aging Douglas A-1 Skyraider and North American F-100Super Sabre fleets. Improved models of the A-7 would be developed, typicallyadopting more powerful engines and increasingly capable avionics. American A-7swould be used in various major conflicts, including the Invasion of Grenada,Operation El Dorado Canyon, and the Gulf War. The type was also used to supportthe development of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk.

The A-7 was also exported to Greece in the 1970s and to Portugal in the late1980s. The USAF and USN opted to retire their remaining examples of the type in1991, followed by the ANG in 1993 and the Portuguese Air Force in 1999. The A-7was largely replaced by newer generation fighters such as the General DynamicsF-16 Fighting Falcon and the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The finaloperator, the Hellenic Air Force, withdrew the last A-7s during 2014. (Wikipedia)
