More A-7 Corsair II questions...
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, February 25, 2004 11:17 AM
Hi, all- You folks were sooo helpful with my last post on the A-7, I'm now gonna press my luck.
Here goes: what would an A-7B have carried as ordinance, circa 1970? This particular unit that I'm going to model was flown from the U.S.S. Oriskany during 'Nam. Wanna make sure proper ordinance is under the wings! Thanks everyone!- Craig

I'll second Cuda's thoughts and add an Iron Hand loadout of Mk20 Rockeye's and Shrike ARMs.
