In 2006, the Hellenic Air Force displayed the A-7E Corsair II at the Royal International Air Tattoo in the United Kingdom, representing one of the last active military operators of the type. The aircraft drew significant attention from aviation enthusiasts due to the Corsair's distinctive appearance and approaching retirement from service. Operated by strike squadrons based at Araxos Air Base, the A-7E remained capable of carrying a heavy weapons load for ground attack missions. Its participation at RIAT highlighted the long service history of the Corsair II in Greek service and showcased a classic Cold War era attack aircraft to international audiences. Designed as a longer-range, higher-payload replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk, the A-7 Corsair II was first flown on September 27th, 1965. This aircraft entered service during the Vietnam war and later became one of only a few US Navy aircraft to serve with the US Air Force. It possessed cutting edge technologies; it was one of the first aircraft to use a turbofan engine, an internal navigation system and a "head-up" display. Late in its career, A-7s were used for pilot training and were parked outside of hangars in order to draw the attention of Soviet spy satellites away from the fledgling F-117. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
