Earned Rest
The last of the A-7 Corsair II attack planes, currently in service with the Greek Air Force, are being retired in October. I've always loved this plane. Like the A-10, it's a workhorse rather than a racehorse. It isn't flashy or fast or sexy, but it was very effective at putting explosions onto the heads of bad guys for several decades. Bombers destroy the enemy's ability to wage war; fighters exist solely to protect bombers.
The photo above was taken at a recent fly-in event at RAF Fairford. Piclick for more info.
