VOUGHT TA-7 Corsair 2 —

Flying hydraulic leak.

Flying hydraulic leak.

First of all this is clearly not an TA-7 Corsair. The "T" designation means trainer,this aircraft is a single seat A7-C maybe D. Secondly, these "flying hydraulic leaks" laid down a lot of ordnance in close air support of American/NATO troops over the years. Viet Nam, Grenada, Lebanon, Desert Shield/Storm. I will acknowledge the maintenance problems of this a/c. Let's also acknowledge the fact that the American taxpayer got their money's worth out of this workhorse.

Chris Croft - FYI, I got the aircraft info off of the museum info. That is what they showed it as. I don't know that much about A7's and their sub-types, so I took the museum info and trusted it was as they said it was.

Hey no problem John, I enjoyed the photo and appreciate your response.

I would say that's a E model. It matches the paint scheme and BuNo range the squadron was flying back in the mid-70s.
