On 24 May 1975, while assigned to VA-56 aboard USS Midway, this A-7A was lost. The pilot partially blacked out during the pullout from a bombing run and unsure of his height above the ocean ejected safely.. The a/c continued to fly and was eventually shot down by another VA-56 A-7A. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
