2000s A-7D Corsair II Fighter

Celebrate the rugged performance of a proven attack aircraft with this collectible postcard featuring the A-7D Corsair II.

The Vought A-7D Corsair II was a subsonic light attack aircraft manufactured by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV). First flown in 1965, the A-7 Corsair II was originally designed for U.S. Navy carrier operations, featuring a robust airframe and carrier-landing capabilities. The Air Force A-7D variant was adapted for close air support and battlefield strike missions.

Powered by a single Allison TF41-A-1 turbofan engine producing 14,500 pounds of thrust, the A-7D could reach speeds of approximately 698 miles per hour. It was heavily armed with a 20mm General Electric M61A-1 Vulcan rotary cannon carrying up to 1,000 rounds of ammunition. In addition, the aircraft could carry up to 15,000 pounds of ordnance on six external wing and fuselage stations, along with provisions for two AIM-9 Sidewinder heat-seeking missiles.

The Corsair II served with distinction for decades before being retired from front-line service in 1991, leaving behind a legacy of reliability, accuracy, and close air support effectiveness.

This vintage-style photochrome postcard captures the distinctive profile of the A-7D in classic detail. Produced as a collectible reproduction, it would display beautifully framed or make an excellent addition to any Cold War or U.S. Air Force aviation collection.
