Though the A-4 Skyhawk was by no means outdated by 1962, the US Navy began work on a replacement with better range and heavier payload. The designs submitted would be necessarily heavier than the A-4, but this was not seen as much of a problem, nor was a lack of speed: the Navy was willing to trade subsonic performance for increased range and more bombs. Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) submitted a design based loosely on its successful F-8 Crusader fighter, which was enough to beat out three other designs, and it was ordered into production as the A-7A Corsair II, named for the successful Chance-Vought fighter of World War II.
Though the A-7 was based on the F-8, the two shared very little other than basic configuration: the A-7 was stubby and wide, and definitely subsonic as intended, though it initially used the same powerplant as the F-111 Aardvark. Turn performance was excellent, if acceleration was indifferent, but the centerpiece of the Corsair II was its integrated bomb delivery system. This included the APQ-116 radar, a heads-up display, traveling map display below the radarscope, and a digital computer. Ease of maintenance was also emphasized. With no problems encountered in flight testing, the A-7A entered fleet service in 1967.
It was immediately committed to fighting in Vietnam. Though A-7s would only see action in the tail end of Operation Rolling Thunder, they were to be used extensively in South Vietnam, due to their accuracy: A-7s were capable of putting ordnance within sixty feet of friendly troops, making it well-liked. The Navy liked the USAF's A-7D variant, and subsequently adopted it, with changes for naval operations, as the A-7E. This was to be the definitive model of the Corsair II, and surviving A-7As and A-7Bs were converted to E standard.
It was a mixed batch of A-7 models that finished the war in Vietnam: A-7Bs were mostly used in the suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) Wild Weasel role, and increasingly Corsair IIs were armed with precision weapons such as the AGM-62 Walleye, which proved capable enough to destroy the infamous Thanh Hoa Bridge—albeit temporarily—in 1972. The workhorse A-7 also struck targets in the Hanoi area extensively, making it second only to the B-52 in amount of ordnance dropped on the North Vietnamese capital. Navy A-7s from USS Coral Sea participated in the last combat missions of the Vietnam War, the Mayaguez rescue mission in May 1975. 98 Navy A-7s were shot down during the conflict.
Following the end of the Vietnam War, the A-7 replaced the A-4 in Navy light attack squadrons, standardizing on the A-7E. Aside from minor upgrades, this would remain the type used by Navy units for the duration of the Corsair II’s career. A-7s would go on to participate in every military operation undertaken by the United States in the 1980s—attacks on Lebanon and the invasion of Grenada in 1983, operations against Libya in 1985, during the “Tanker War” in the Persian Gulf in 1987, and finally in the First Gulf War in 1991. In these operations, the A-7 was able to use its pinpoint bombing ability to good use; in Libya and the Persian Gulf, Corsair IIs attacked and sank numerous Libyan and Iranian patrol boats with unguided bombs. It also was the Navy’s Wild Weasel of choice during the 1980s, using the Vietnam-era Shrike before upgrading to the far superior HARM.
In Operation Desert Storm, two A-7 squadrons from John F. Kennedy were used both to attack fixed targets with “iron” bombs and Walleyes in “tank plinking”—knocking out Iraqi tanks with precision weapons. Despite there being less than 30 A-7s in theater, these aircraft were able supplements to the USAF’s A-10s and F-111s.
The First Gulf War was the A-7’s swan song. The last squadrons gave up their Corsair IIs for F/A-18 Hornets by May 1991, ending nearly thirty years of operations. Some ex-Navy A-7s were passed on to Greece, Portugal, and Thailand, and some still remain in service with Thailand and Greece. Of the 1569 A-7s built, about half were Navy types, and today 20 former US Navy A-7s are on display as gate guards and museum pieces.
This A-7A is BuNo 153241, which was delivered to VA-147 ("Argonauts") in 1968, and immediately went to war in Vietnam aboard the USS Ranger (CV-61); it flew strikes over North Vietnam and in support of the Marines at Khe Sanh, before the Ranger was pulled off the line due to the Pueblo Crisis. It was then transferred to VA-153 ("Blue Tail Flies") and remained in Southeast Asia, supporting the Son Tay Prison Raid in 1970. 153241 remained with VA-153 until the squadron was disestablished in 1977, and was retired to MASDC--a little surprising for an aircraft only in service less than a decade, but certainly 153241 had been heavily flown in that short period of time. 153241 was then used as a spares source for Portugal's fleet of A-7Ps.
By 2007, however, 153241 was acquired from the boneyard to join the Lauridsen Aviation Museum in Buckeye, Arizona, but was never on display there; instead, it was stored without its wings at Glendale Municipal Airport. When the Lauridsen Museum struggled to get started, 153241 went to the Pacific Coast Air Museum in Santa Rosa, California in 2010. The wings were put on and some of the open panels were replaced, but the aircraft still looked very forlorn.
By 2025, however, when we visited PCAM, a full restoration and repaint was underway, with the nose fully restored and painted. It looks like the museum intends to paint 153241 in VA-153 colors, which will look striking when it's finished.
The problems in the living room have become considerably worse. A chunk of the concrete roof has fallen in. This is likely a result of the pick axes and other hacking performed above.

The attachment point for the cross brace or spar was off by 5 inches or so.

The viewing platform of Lonsdale Quay and just outside Lonsdale Market, the number of people here is expected given the weather and the beautiful scenery. Many of these commuters are willing to watch their ferry pass by if it meant an extra minute admiring Vancouver and enjoying the market.
VW – das Problem
Obwohl Volkswagen bereits Konzepte für Ein-, Zwei- und Drei-Liter-Autos sowie eine eigene Technik für effizientere Autos entwickelt hat, überschwemmt der Konzern den Markt mit klimafeindlichen Spritschluckern. Allein die rund 2,9 Millionen in Europa verkauften Autos im Jahr 2010 werden während ihrer Nutzungsdauer über 60 Millionen Tonnen CO2 ausstoßen.
Greenpeace startete im Juni 2011 seine Kampagne für serienmäßigen Klimaschutz beim Volkswagen-Konzern. Die unabhängige Umweltschutzorganisation fordert VW auf, die klimaschädlichen Emissionen seiner Neuwagenflotte bis zum Jahr 2020 entsprechend dem europäischen Grenzwert von 80 Gramm CO2/Kilometer zu drosseln.

Selfie-Hype, Veggie-Boom, Schönheits-OPs und Fitnesswahn – was ist eigentlich unser Problem? In Zeiten von grotesker Selbstoptimierung und allgegenwärtigem Leistungsdruck lädt die Ausstellung "I AM A PROBLEM" zu einer furiosen Reise durch die Hochebenen und Niederungen menschlicher Existenz ein. Inszeniert vom viel beachteten Jung-Regisseur und Bühnenbildner Ersan Mondtag entfaltet sich im Ausstellungsraum eine düstere und zugleich aufreizende Parallelwelt, in der Werke aus der Sammlung des MMK zu Protagonisten einer Erzählung werden und miteinander in Dialog treten. mmk-frankfurt.de/de/ausstellungen/vorschau/

Effective Problem Solving requires supervisors to work at three levels: containment (short term, ‘stop the bleeding’), countermeasure (longer-term, remove the cause, prevent recurrence) and raising the standard.

This is not the picture of your van you want to see on your vacation. The front right tire began wobbling because of a separating belt. We stopped at a Walmart in Chattanooga. While there I noticed that my brand new tire on the driver rear side had a bubble so we replaced that one too.
