A-7 Corsair II Launch Sketch Greeting Card

$3.99 USD

The A-7 Corsair II, nicknamed the “SLUF”, usually softened to “Short Little Ugly Fella”, was a subsonic light attack aircraft developed by Ling-Temco-Vought for the U.S. Navy. Based on design features from the F-8 Crusader, the A-7 was shorter, stockier and built around payload, range and accuracy rather than speed. It first flew on Sep 27ᵗʰ, 1965, reached Navy squadron service in 1966, and entered combat over Vietnam in December 1967.

Designed to replace the A-4 Skyhawk as the Navy’s front-line light attack aircraft, the Corsair II could carry a heavier weapons load over a greater range. Later versions also used advanced avionics for the period, including a head-up display and a computerised navigation and weapons delivery system, which helped make the A-7 one of the most accurate attack aircraft of its era.

The A-7 served with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, flying close air support, interdiction and strike missions in Vietnam, Grenada, Lebanon, Libya, Panama and Desert Storm. A total of 1,545 airframes were built, including U.S. and export variants. The Navy’s A-7E flew its final combat missions during Desert Storm, while Air National Guard units continued flying the A-7D and A-7K until 1993.
