Our Squardon VF-174 was the first on the East Coast to
recieve the new A-7A. We went from the F-8U to this new
aircraft. We have a reunion about once every (2) years
if you would like to be up on the list, contact me.

The bird was rec. on Oct. 21, 1966. And the unit final
days were in 1988. I was a great bird.
