A-7D #70-1006, Tucson International Airport 1987, Jeff Kolln Photo
This former 355th TFW A-7D is a "Block II" aircraft which has the Air Force style refueling receptacle. If you will look closely at the nose of the A-7 to the right, you will see the Navy style refueling probe. This indicates that this A-7D is one of 16 that were built with the Navy refueling probe. Check out my A-7D Era page to learn more.
