I flew the A7 Corsair for a brief period of time. Loved it.

Robin & Dave....appreciate the comments.

Dave, thank you for your service. The Corsair 2 was an awesome attack aircraft. I spent countless hours at Hardwood Range in WI watching the A-7's from Des Moines IA, Sioux Falls SD & even Toledo OH in the late 80's & early 90's put on a great show strafing and dropping practice bombs at the range targets. Civilian viewing was at the range tower complete with baseball field type bleachers for your comfort.

this of course is the F2G from Goodyear with the big 4360 power plant.

the A7 Corsair 2 is quite different; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTV_A-7_Corsair_II
