You know. the A-7F could have been THE tactical fighter plane of tomorrow...

 

real urban legend...funny story actually.

 

So the Wing Commander at the South Carolina ANG has units flying the Delta, and he's ready to place orders for this new Foxtrot machine with the afterburner and wat not.... :yes:

 

So on the day that they were supposed to receive the first A-7F's sice they had nothing else to do that day, the ground crews are just doin routine maintenance.....

 

And they look up to see a crapload of F-16A's land at the airfield and taxi into the revetments with all eagerness....and no owner......

 

...So the Wing Commander's like..... [oh..... well..... well..... well that's just fine. ]

 

....and so 'happened' the story of a failed reality..... and the tactical fighter of yesterday
