It was such an inspiring visit we had with VA-86 and all the guests that visited us here at the Fort Worth Aviation Museum. We can't thank them enough for sharing their experiences and stories with us. Such dedications ... of these crew ... Officers and Enlisted men ... that came together because of a common respect and the ordeals they endured to share with us. We were happy they chose us to have their VA-86 Reunion for the day. They also visited our archives of materials, equipment, memorabilia, technical publications, which is available as well to all open quests upon request. Thanks again for sharing your stories and times with us. Salute....
Great testimony! The A-7 was a true light attack workhorse on US Navy carriers from 1967 -1991. The Navy A-7C/E (USAF A-7D) was the first military tactical aircraft with a Head Up Display (HUD) and a digital solution weapon system controlled by the AN/ASN-91 NAV WEPS Delivery Computer with OFP software. Many functions were put under control software over 50 years ago. Aviators and maintainers loved the A-7 Corsair II. It was indeed ahead of it's time.
