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.

This A-7A was assigned to VA-93 from April 1973 through April 1977. It arrived at MASDC on 26 May 1977 and was stricken in September 1980. It was then assigned as a spare parts a/c for the Portuguese Air Force A-7P program.

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.

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.
