During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, A-7E Corsair II AC-302, BuNo 160715, served with US Navy Attack Squadron VA-46 Clansmen aboard USS John F. Kennedy. VA-46 deployed to the Persian Gulf as part of Carrier Air Wing 3, flying combat missions against Iraqi forces. The A-7E's accurate navigation and weapons delivery systems made it particularly effective for precision attack missions against airfields, military installations, and other tactical targets. Desert Storm represented the Corsair II's final major combat deployment with the US Navy. Shortly afterward, VA-46 was disestablished as the Navy completed its transition to newer strike aircraft.
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.
JC's 1:72 scale A-7 Corsair II model does great justice to this iconic aircraft. No detail has been overlooked, from the tinted bulletproof windscreen to the complete set of removable wing- and fuselage-mounted ordnance. This model has an opening hinged canopy with detailed pilot figure, two nose-mounted pitot tubes and arrestor hook detail. Details of the gear actuator and hydraulic lines are visible in the wheel wells. Its most unique feature is its steerable nose wheel, a finishing touch that is uncommon in any scale.
