Description
One of the newer aircraft at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, California is a U.S. Navy Vought A-7 Corsair II attack jet. This plane entered service in 1967, just in time for it to bomb Vietnam, and served for most of half a century. Though the American military retired the A-7 in 1993, Greece retired the plane as recently as 2014. Planes of Fame's A-7 has undergone some sun-bleaching, but the "shark mouth" on the air intake is still easy to see.

The classic duo, A-7 and A-4... sadly gone from the fleet. Both were stellar craft dropped in favor of faster designs, yet pilots still rave about the older planes, bemoaning the F/A-18 by comparison.
