The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American carrier-capable subsonic attack aircraft manufactured to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. The Corsair II initially entered service with the US Navy during the Vietnam War and began combat operations over Vietnam in December 1967. It was later adopted by the US Air Force, including the Air National Guard, to replace the Douglas A-1 Skyraider and North American F-100 Super Sabre.
