A-7 decals

The A-7 was a work horse for the Navy.   The USAF purchased a large number but turned them over to the Guard and Reserve units.   The 127th FIG at Selfridge had A-7D for about a decade.  I worked on them for a few years until I transferred to the 191St "Six Pack"  The units A-7D all came from Tuson AZ.   The unit had a group of Michigan guardsmen handle the transfers.  The aircraft was easy to maintain.  It was a sad day for the 127Th when the unit converted to the F-16A's.   Why you ask, because these F-16 were the oldest in the USAF inventory.   A few of them had been pre-production and first production build's.  The manuals and wiring diagrams didn't agree to the what was in the aircraft.

 Enough talk.   now for the decals.
