This aircraft was flown by Captain J.R. “Shooter” Sanders in 39 missions over enemy territory in Iraq in the first Gulf War.

From its baptism of fire on December 4, 1967 over the jungles of Vietnam, to its dramatic final days above the burning desert sands of Iraq and Kuwait, the A-7 Corsair II repeatedly demonstrated its ability to perform the Light Attack mission with great success. It was the last combat aircraft that LTV designed and built. In all, 1,551 were produced.
