Returning to USS Midway (CV-41) which was operating off the coast of Luzon in the South China Sea with the sun beginning to set down low. I took this slide from another VA-93 A-7A. This A-7A was assigned to VA-93 from April 1973 through late April 1977. Both VA-93 and VA-56 (also aboard CV-41) were the last two active duty A-7 squadrons to operate the A-7A. By late May 1976 this A-7A was in storage at MASDC. It was later given a new life as an A-7P with the Portuguese Air Force as 5539, finally retiring for good in 1990.

Returning to USS Midway (CV-41) which was operating off the coast of Luzon in the South China Sea with the sun beginning to set down low. I took this slide from another VA-93 A-7A. This A-7A was assigned to VA-93 from April 1973 through late April 1977. Both VA-93 and VA-56 (also aboard CV-41) were the last two active duty A-7 squadrons to operate the A-7A. By late May 1976 this A-7A was in storage at MASDC. It was later given a new life as an A-7P with the Portuguese Air Force as 5539, finally retiring for good in 1990.

Taxiing up to the starboard catapult for launch. The Lex normally only used the starboard catapult as the port catapult and jet blast deflector intruded into the landing area when it was in use.

This A-7E has just made an arrested landing. The hook runner (a flight deck crew member) appears to be signaling not to let the aircraft taxi as the arresting cable is fouled in the arresting hook. The USS Lexington saw heavy combat in World War Two. As with all carriers of that vintage it had a teakwood deck. Although the landing area was modified with steel plating, other areas were still wood when this photo was taken as evidenced by the teak planks visible in the lower part of the photo.

These VA-122 A-7Es are conducting pilot carrier qualification flights. VA-122 at the time was an A-7E training squadron. Although marked with USS Lexington on the fuselage, there was no air wing assigned to the carrier as it was strictly used for carrier qualifications. Many of the training squadrons that regularly used AVT-16 unofficially carried the ship's name on their aircraft.

Slide taken aboard Lex during A-7 carrier qualifications (CQ) by VA-122. VA-122 at the time was an A-7 training squadron. Initial CQ in an A-7 normally consisted of 10 day arrested landings and 8-10 night arrested landings over a two to three day period. This A-7E was accepted by the Navy on 20 April 1979, just six weeks before I took this slide.
