This A-7's first assignment was with the 23rd TFW at England AFB (LA), that had a successful Vietnam tour in 1973. It wears full markings, including the 76th TFS red tailband with white stars. Several years earlier here, it had toned-down markings and the tailband of the 75th TFS, same wing. Its operational time ended with the Colorado ANG in 1990 and it was preserved at Denver-Front Range airport (now Colorado Air and Space Port) intially, before being moved here at some point.
