Great shots, james.

I was lucky enough to see three of these fly past Antisamos beach, Sami, Kefalonia at low level over the sea a couple of years ago.

Sorry to derail the thread, but does anyone know the purpose of the geometric shape stencilled onto the tails of these aircraft?

That's right, ground-based Corsair do have that misterious twisted "M" shaped thing on the tail, also the USAF ones had it, but I don't recall seeing them on the Navy ones...

Great question and something to research. I'm guessing some sort of an antenna that USAF "D's" had that USN versions do not. The only one I can think of on the tail like that would be a VOR/ILS type antenna, most USN aircraft (even modern ones) do not have civilian ILS. Need to find a Squadron/Signal "A-7 Walk Around" book at the hobby shop.

The main difference between the two versions is that the USN have a refueling probe and the USAF versions have a boom receptacle, but you are right there are going to be other equipment differences.

According to the cutaway drawing for the A-7 in the "The World's Great Attack Aircraft" it'a flush mounted VHF antenna.

Ditto. Razbam got out of the FS2004 business. (comment self-edited).

You have to admit that this bird is the best Corsair to date. All of the series are outstanding. A bit over powered but fun to fly.
