Loaded out with four live 500 lb. Mk.82 bombs (two under each wing). A well worn but reliable A-7A, 153152 was with VA-93 from 1973 through 24 April 1977. It arrived at MASDC on 1 June 1977, and was given a new life when it was converted to an A-7P for the Portuguese Air Force. It was lost in a mishap on 4 December 1989 near Vila Vocosa, Portugal.
