LTV, Ling-Temco-Vought A7 Corsair II
the best of the last of Vought - smaller simpler, subsonic, and cheaper, with reduced costs per target; and used 1/6 fuel per mile than an F100.
A7 SLUF offered a lot of new avionics, included data link capabilities, Nav system could fly the aircraft "hands off" to 9x waypoints. And for the Navy provided fully "hands-off" carrier landings.
LTV A7D – USAF Corsair II
included APN-185 nav & APQ-126 TF radar PMDS and HUD +
1x M61 Vulcan 20mm. Air Force got Allison TF41-A-1 turbofan engine sim to Rolls-Royce Spey for more power for its A7. A7Ds were quickly assigned the "Sandy mission" of providing air cover for Combat Search and Rescue missions.
USAF A7D flew a total of 12,928 combat sorties during the war with only 6x losses, lowest of any US fighter in the theater. A7 was second only to B52 in the amount of ordnance dropped on Hanoi. The advanced DIANE digital attack & nav equipment made
A7 more accurate than B52.
LTV A7E – US Navy 1975 ‘SLUF’
had APN-190 nav & APQ-128 TF radar.
A7E also kept the Navy probe-and-drogue refueling. A7E's could haul double the loadout of an A4E Skyhawk, or the same payload over twice its maximum distance.
In Vietnam, the hot, humid air robbed even the upgraded A7D and A7E of power. Pilots intentionally held in "ground effect" a few feet off the runway during gear retraction, and as much as a 10mi departure at treetop altitude before reaching a safe flap retraction speed. This power loss greatly affected catapult launches at maximum weight.
The A7E participated in the mining of Haiphong harbor in 1972, and played a vital role in Operations Linebacker I and Linebacker II that led up to the formal end of US involvement in the Vietnam War on 24 January 1973
Navy A7Es were killed Libyan SA-5s with AGM-88 HARM missiles.
A7Es flew off John F. Kennedy (CV 67) during Desert Storm.
