Last day of Corsair II flying

[Navy Chief]

Today marks the last day for A-7 Corsairs being flown by any country.

The Greek Air Force had a airshow today to commemorate it. NC

Wow! The end of an era. Only place to see them now is in museums or on a stick at a nondiscript park.

The SLUF was a great aircraft, sad to see it gone.

Indeed. the SLUF was an aircraft that pioneered things that are now commonplace:

- HUD
- CCIP
- integrated navigation and weapons delivery
- ...

Truly an icon!
