Tonight at 10.00pm EDT on the Military Channel there will be a show about the
A-7II Corsair, Great Planes. I know most of you guys are A-6ers, but hey, it could be good viewing. I am a little bit predudice being an A-7 Maintainer.

A7 was a great plane.

They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

We had A-7s here until they switched to F-16s sometime in the 80s. The A-7s looked pretty cool flying over each day. Their shapes were neat. A by-gone era. We are slated for F-22 Raptors to replace the F-16s. But who knows now, with the halting of procurement? The 138th Fighter Wing has performed many successful missions out of Turkey over Iraq for many years and has a great record. The 138th makes flights nearly every day in squadron strength. I love the Indian chief's head art on the tail. Yesterday I saw a Marine Harrier coming in. It flew right over me. He probably needed fuel or had to pee.
