Good video, was that the old Crusader or Corsair that our Navy used so long. It's hard for me to recognize with the paint pattern being used. Thanks for sharing :)

Greeks are the best

none said USAF :)

I was refering to the description "A-7s have been widely used by the USAF in various conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Libya strikes in 1986" Again, I believe the USAF never flew the A-7. My father had 30,000 hours in the A-7 so I got to hang around them a lot as a kid.
