America's Short & Ugly But Well Hung Buccaneer - The Magnificent LTV A-7 Corsair II- (Full Story)

Video Description

#a7corsairII #corsairll #coldwarjet LTV A-7 Corsair II, to me is undoubtedly one of the greatest low level attack aircraft in the history of aviation, but is often overlooked in favour of the A-10 and F/A-18 Hornet, maybe due to it's stubby, squat frame or being often confused for the F-8U. Either way the A-7 Corsair is a very unique and capable aircraft, one which could have been kept in service for many more years. The A-7 Corsair was built to replace the amazing little A-4 Skyhawk, and was packed full of new and exciting navigation and weapons systems that allowed her pilots to drop their ordnance within meters of their targets, along with providing amazing endurance, the A-7 was ideally placed to take on the Sandy search and rescue roles from the A-1 Skyraider.
