This A-7A is loaded out with six live 1000 lb. Mk.83 bombs (three under each wing). This was a good load configuration for the A-7, as it was lower drag than having them mounted on multiple ejector racks (MERs). 152669 arrived at MASDC on 26 May 1977. It was used as a parts airframe for the Portuguese A-7P program. After that it was evidently sold surplus, and at last report was at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation in Sevierville, TN. awaiting restoration.
