The Strangest US Subsonic Fighter

The A-7 Corsair II saw extensive action during the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Operating primarily from aircraft carriers, A-7s conducted numerous sorties against Iraqi military targets. They performed a variety of missions, including close air support, interdiction, and strategic bombing. The A-7's precision and reliability contributed significantly to the coalition's air campaign, helping to degrade Iraqi military capabilities and support ground operations.
