In subsquent years, the wing operated a variety of different aircraft and in late 1970, it received the A-7D Corsair II. These aircraft were adorned with the \"MB\" tail-code, identifying their home-base as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In September 1972, the 353rd and 355th Tactical Fighter Squadrons deployed a total of 72 A-7Ds to Korat Royal Thai AFB, Thailand - the first com bat deployment of the A-7D into Southeast Asia. The 354th TFW flew combat operations in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia until mid-1973 and, in fact, the last shot fired in anger by United States military forces in Southeast Asia was fired by an A-7D of the 353rd TFS on August 15, 1973. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_JET_FTR_A007\"\u003eVought A-7D Corsair II\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Designed as a longer-range, higher-payload replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk, the A-7 Corsair II was first flown on September 27th, 1965. This aircraft entered service during the Vietnam war and later became one of only a few US Navy aircraft to serve with the US Air Force. It possessed cutting edge technologies; it was one of the first aircraft to use a turbofan engine, an internal navigation system and a  \"head-up\" display. Late in its career, A-7s were used for pilot training and were parked outside of hangars in order to draw the attention of Soviet spy satellites away from the fledgling F-117.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"clsCopyright\"\u003e© Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"airdrop militaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48259503325443,"sku":"686250","price":500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/1031\/8595\/files\/B2B686B7-12A1-4B24-A851-35DE4625EA00.jpg?v=1779898927","url":"https:\/\/airdropmilitaria.com\/products\/1-72-century-wings-686250-vought-corsair-ii-a7d-mb71-0354-korat-r-t-a-f-b-thailand-353rd-tfs-354th-tfw-limited-edition-of-1500","provider":"airdrop militaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
