Viac info:

The LTV A-7 Corsair II was a carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) in the 1960s and 1970s. It was derived from the Vought F-8 Crusader fighter and entered service with the United States Navy and Air Force in 1967. The A-7 was also exported to Greece, Portugal and Thailand.
The A-7 was designed to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk as a low-cost, high-performance attack aircraft that could deliver a variety of weapons with high accuracy and reliability. The A-7 featured a shortened and modified F-8 airframe, a turbofan engine that improved fuel efficiency and range, a head-up display (HUD) that projected flight and weapon information on the windshield, and a digital navigation and weapon delivery system that enabled precision bombing.
The A-7 saw extensive combat during the Vietnam War, where it flew over 100,000 sorties and achieved a high mission success rate. It also participated in the 1980 Iranian hostage rescue attempt, the 1983 invasion of Grenada, the 1986 bombing of Libya, and the 1991 Gulf War. The A-7 was retired from active service in 1991 by the US Navy and in 1993 by the US Air Force. It was replaced by the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet and the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon respectively.
