Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n A-043 Built for the US Navy as an A-7A with the Bureau No.153134. Known to have served with VA-27 ‘Royal Maces’ and VA-305 ‘Lobos’. Stored with the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center (MASDC) at Davis Monthan, Arizona, from May 1978 until March 1983 when it was sold to Portugal and went to Vought for conversion to an A-7P. With the conversion number P-021, it was delivered to the Portuguese Air Force as 5521, which changed to 15521 in January 1994. Operated by Esquadra 304 ‘Magnificos’, it was painted in this special colour scheme to mark 64,000 hours flown by Portuguese Air Force A-7s between 1981 and 1999. Retired in 2000, it was kept at Monte Real and eventually joined the base collection. It is seen on static display during the 2022 base open day. Monte Real Airbase (Base Aérea nº 5), Leiria, Portugal
