Phantomologist Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The "What if's" did not go over so well, how about some "What Was" shots? Vought shots of Davis Monthan in the Summer of 1972 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackMan Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Good stuff, Bill! Thanks very much. Man, it;s weird looking at a an A-7 with PLAAF markings on it :wacko: Also, that last batch of DM pics are awesome. I love these type of "Undergoing Maintenance / Ordnance Loading " pictures because they give me loads of diorama ideas. Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
verner Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Does anybody out there have any "Weasel" A7E's with a load on? TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iranian F-14A Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'd love to see more of the What-If A-7s.And too bad the PLAAF didn't go the A-7 route,I'm sure the Corsair would have been a better bird to operate then the Fantan in the A2G role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reddog Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Does anybody out there have any "Weasel" A7E's with a load on? TIA A couple of "Weasel" loads I have loaded during my A-7E days, HARMs on 1, 2, 7, and 8, Rockeye or APAM on 3 and 6, Sidewiders on 4 and 5 HARMs on 2 and 7, Rockeye or APAM on TERs (centerline and outboard stations) on 1 and 8, Rockeye or APAM on 3 and 6, Sidewinders on 4 and 5. HARMs on 1 and 8, Rockeye or APAM on 2, 3, 6, and 7. As you can tell, "Weasel" loads consisted of HARMs and Rockeye/APAM, we only flew Shrikes for training and missile shots. A-7E HARM stations were 1, 2, 7 and 8. HTH Reddog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJackson Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) This isn't mine, photographer is unknown. I got it from a friend who owns an A-7D pit. He and I are working on a A-7D definitive flight sim model for X-plane. see: A-7D 3D But I wanted to try to clean it up, so I produced a re-touch of it using Photoshop and Corel Painter.
