Here are some pics of an R/C model of the last West Coast A-7 that was sent to NAS Millington to be used by students at the Aviation Schools.
I was in VA/VFA-27 from 1988 to 1991. I was the MCO and Acft DivO.
I built this model during this past winter and early spring. I will enter it in several events this summer. It is a pretty accurate rendition of Acft 412 before we sent her away. It flies great. Hope you like it..

1970 - Here is a patch I had made in Japan, the VA27 Chainturion. We only had 10 of these made for the "fixers". If you've ever tripped over a tiedown chain on a dark deck, you know what pain really is!
