The A-7 was a great airplane for its time. I flew the A-7E which actually had some neat gadgets. It had a great Heads Up Display and some computerized bombing modes that made it a very accurate visual bomber. It was pretty good behind the ship as lond as you stayed ahead of it. It could get pretty ugly trying to dig out of the hole if you got low&slow. The best part was the community as a whole, we had great spirit and esprit. Our motto was "No slack in Light Attack."
Having said that, there isn't much the A-7 did that the Hornet doesn't do a lot better. I count myself very lucky to have flown both.
