VA-56 A-7A BuNo.153144 and VA-93 A-7A BuNo.152673 demonstrating very low level air to air refueling. I took this slide standing on the flight deck of USS Midway (CV-41). This was part of an air power demonstration for dignitaries that were visiting the ship. The VA-93 A-7 is still wearing bicentennial markings commemorating the 200th anniversary of the U.S., which occurred in July 1976.

152665 is at the top of the photo. This was a flight of eight A-7As from VA-56 and VA-93 from the USS Midway (CV-41) participating in Exercise "Maulex" which was being conducted in South Korea. I took this slide from a VA-93 A-7A. On 13 January 1977 152665 slid off the flight deck of CV-41while being repositioned by a tug. Unfortunately the Plane Captain, who was in the cockpit riding the brakes, did not survive as the A-7 went into the water upside down.

Delivered new to USN on 19 December 1967. Assigned to VA-97, VA-125, VA-153, back to VA-125, and finally to VA-56 in March 1974. Transferred to Naval Air Rework Center at NAS Alameda on 11 December 1976. Stricken there on 1 June 1978. In the photo this A-7A is loaded out with six live Mk.82 500# bombs, three on each wing. Note the nose gear launch bar is in the catapult shuttle. When the aircraft reaches the end of the flight deck the launch bar will go to its up position automatically in preparation for gear retraction.
