#1001180 - 12/03/07 07:31 AM A Collection of all A-7 Corsair II's
jtouran World Explorer Registered: 07/20/07 Posts: 553 Loc: Northern Lower Michigan, USA	Here is a Collection of all A-7 Corsair II's on Google Earth That I could find. A-7 Corsair II Built originally on the airframe of the F-8U Crusader, the A-7 underwent a number of modifications since its 1965 introduction. The A-7 Corsair II, which is retired, was used by TAC for close air support attack missions. The A-7E was the final fleet version of the A-7. After more than two decades of service, however, it was replaced by the F/A-18 Hornet.The A-7E had a 20mm gun and can carry payloads of up to 15,000 pounds of bombs and missiles. Eight ordnance stations were available. A-7E Corsair IIs were part of the two-carrier battle group that conducted a joint strike on selected Libyan terrorist-related targets in 1986. Together with carrier-based F/A-18s, A-7s used anti-radiation missiles to neutralize Libyan air defenses. F/A-18s replaced A-7Es in the carrier air wing mix. The last two squadrons transitioned in FY 1992. Replacing A-7s with F/A-18s gave operational commanders more flexibility by allowing them to employ the F/A-18s in either the fighter or attack role. Also, a smaller number of aircraft (85) are needed in an F/A-18 equipped carrier air wing than in an A-7E equipped carrier air wing (94). More Info.

spitfire_mkv Explorer Registered: 11/07/05 Posts: 399 Loc: in a police call box	There is no A-7 listed as part of the Yankee Air Museum collection at Willow Run, Michigan and there is none visible where your placemark is. Perhaps you can enlighten us with further details? _________________________ exterminate! exterminate!

jtouran World Explorer Registered: 07/20/07 Posts: 553 Loc: Northern Lower Michigan, USA	Last time I went to the Yankee Air Museum, I was pretty sure I saw an A-7 there.(perhaps only on temporary display) Also, I went there pre-fire so it could have been lost in the fire. Also, since the image on GE is also Pre-fire there is a chance that the A-7 is in the museum building. _________________________ [color:"blue"] jtouran [/color] ______________________________________ ______________________________________ A Collection of all A-7 Corsair II's A Collection of all F-86 Sabres on Dispaly The O-2 and 337 Skymaster List A Tribute to the Consolidated B-24 Liberator *The Collection List* ________________________________________________ The only way to see the world, is to look about you __________________________________________

So, pending confirmation, might I suggest you remove the placemark for Willow Run? _________________________ exterminate! exterminate!
