The Vought YA-7F was named Strikefighter, two prototypes (70-1039 and this 71-0344) were converted from A-7D airframes. Eventually, the YA-7F was not ordered into production. The stretched, supersonic version of A-7 was powered by a Pratt & Whitney F100-220 turbofan. The A-7F was intended for the interdiction mission, but was cancelled as the F-16 was a better option. 0344 is seen here stored on the south side of Edwards.
