A-7 Retirement: Hellenic Air Force Corsair Farewell at Araxos Airbase

Ling Temco Vought LTV A-7 Corsair II of Hellenic Air Force farewell media day at Araxos airbase 16th October 2014. The Ling Temco Vought LTV A-7 Corsair II is a carrier capable subsonic light attack aircraft. Greece's Hellenic Air Force (HAF) ordered sixty new A-7H aircraft and five TA-7Hs in 1974. The delivery of the airplanes started in 1975 and equipped the 347, 340, 345 Squadrons. In 1993 Hellenic Air Force received an additional sixty-two A-7Es and nineteen TA-7C surplus USN (United States Navy) airplanes who were given to the 335 and 336 Squadrons. The last A-7Es were retired in October 2014 from the 336th Bomber Squadron. This video is related to the retirement ceremony.
A-7E is the naval carrier-capable equivalent of the A-7D, 529 built
A-7H are modified A-7E for Greece without air-refueling capability, 60 built.
TA-7H are the two-seat trainer version for Greece.

🎬 Welcome to Flight Video & Photo - Aviation Emotions on CZcams ✈️
On this Channel, we are bringing you the best 4K Ultra HD Video fo Airplane, Helicopters, Airport, Airshow, Combat, and Military Aircraft, Aerobatic Teams, Historical Aircraft, Civil Airplane and any other vehicle that can fly!
🛫 We started creating airplane videos and photos years ago driven by our love for photography and aviation.
THE FLIGHT VIDEO & PHOTO CZcams PROJECT HISTORY
Since the 1990s, we have toured the airshows - first only in Italy, then also abroad. For example, Astana (Kazakhstan) for the Kadex, or Moscow for MAKS, or Zeltweg for AirPower.
✈️ To shoot airplane videos we also attend military exercises (like Iniochos in Andravida, Greece) or open days (like the Tiger Meet) and other aviation-related events reserved for the press.
The Flight Video & Photo CZcams channel was born in March 2012 when we published the photos of the last performance of the Alpi Eagles - the first Italian civil aerobatic team - which took place in Thiene on October 14th, 1990.
It was time to improve and create real-time airplane videos. We started to invest in state of the art video technologies and training. Now Flight Video & Photo CZcams channel has 15.000 subscribers and more than 8.5 million visualizations.
🚁 Thanks to CZcams we created a network of cooperations and we start to receive requests to use our airplane videos. Due to the interest of the market in high-quality airplane video, we decided to invest and upload our content into stock footage agencies.
So, subscribe to the Channel and enjoy Aviation Emotions on CZcams ✅

Probably a nice video but I stopped watching after half a minute because of the horribly irritating watermark.

[@FlightVideoPhoto]

@@joetoebie1622nice videos without watermark are often stolen and I don't like to work with others that use my results without asking

Great looking aircraft, good to see the Greeks managed to keep them nice & in good flying condition. Always had a thing for these ever since I made a model of one & hung it off my bedroom ceiling. Sadly these aircraft showed so much promise & the super version that wasn’t bought by the USAF I thought was the better bid & the power behind that thing was supposed to be awesome even by today’s standards. It was a rocket ship. Thanks for the vid

They are well maintained and ready for action soon.
