The Vought A-7 Corsair II is a carrier-based subsonic light attack aircraft introduced to replace the US Navy's A-4 Skyhawk, initially entering service during the Vietnam War.
The Corsair was later adopted by the US Air Force, including 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.
 
This package includes the A7-A, A-7B and A-7P Corsair II models in seven paint schemes with an impressive feature list.
 
See the Detailed Description below for all the details!

 

Aircraft information
 
The A-7 offered a plethora of leading-edge avionics compared to contemporary aircraft. This included data link capabilities that, among other features, provided full 'hands-off' carrier landing capability when used in conjunction with its approach power compensator (APC) or autothrottle. Other notable and highly advanced equipment was a projected map display located just below the radar scope. The map display was slaved to the Inertial Navigation System and provided a high-resolution map image of the aircraft's position superimposed over TPC/JNC charts. Moreover, when slaved to the all-axis autopilot, the INS could fly the aircraft 'hands off' to up to nine individual waypoints. Typical inertial drift was minimal for newly manufactured models and the inertial measurement system accepted fly over, radar, and TACAN updates.
 
Production of Corsairs continued through 1984, with a total of 1,569 aircraft built. The A-7 Corsair has the distinction of being the only United States single-seat jet fighter-bomber of the 1960s that was designed and built for, and deployed directly into, the Vietnam War.
 

A-7A Corsair II
 
First production version. Early USN Corsair IIs had two 20 mm Colt Mk 12 cannons with 250 rounds per gun. Maximum ordnance, carried primarily on the wing pylons, was theoretically 15,000 lb (6,804 kg), but was limited by maximum take-off weight, so the full weapon load could only be carried with greatly reduced internal fuel. The aircraft was equipped with AN/APN-153 navigational radar, AN/APQ-115 terrain following radar, and a separate AN/APQ-99 attack radar; 199 built.
 
A-7B Corsair II
 
Uprated TF30-P-8 engine with 12,190 lb/f (54.2 kN) of thrust. In 1971, surviving A-7Bs were further upgraded to TF30-P-408 with 13,390 lb/f (59.6 kN) of thrust; AN/APQ-115 terrain following radar in earlier A-7A is replaced by AN/APQ-116 terrain following radar; 196 built.
 
A-7P Corsair II
 

Ex-US Navy A-7A rebuilt for Portugal, 44 refurbished with TF30-P-408 engines and an avionics fit similar to the A-7E.
