The A-7D Corsair II is a single seat, light attack aircraft. Originally designed for the U.S. Navy,
459 A-7Ds was built for the U.S. Air Force from 1968 to 1976. USAF A-7Ds saw service in
Vietnam and were also flown by the Air National Guard including the 192nd Tactical Fighter
Group at Richmond International Airport. The A-7D achieved excellent bomb-deliver accuracy due
to its automatic electronic navigation and weapon-delivery system. The A-7D was powered by
one 14,250-pound thrust Allison TF-41 turbofan engine, which allowed it to carry up to 15,000
pounds of mixed ordnance.
The museum's A-7D flew with the 192nd Tactical Fighter Group and is on loan from the USAF
Museum. (Serial #70-966)
