A Vought / LTV TA-7C Corsair II aircraft project has been spotted for sale.
The project aircraft (BuNo. 154544), a dual control trainer version of the A-7, reportedly began life as an A-7B and flew Vietnam Combat Cruises with VA-56 aboard USS Midway and VA-215 aboard USS Oriskany. It was converted to an TA-7C in 1974. The listing states (in part):
The aircraft was de-milled per government regulations when sold through the DRMO. The aircraft was very low time when surplused, and has been hangared continually since the USN surplused her. Over many years, she has been pieced together for static display. Only a few parts are missing. Included is the entire airframe, both ejection seats original to this aircraft, 80-90% of the cockpit instrumentation, as well as many other internal and external parts and pieces. Provided with the aircraft project is a genuine USN tow-bar, many spares and extra parts, including: pylons, panels, and a vertical stabilizer. Not included most notably is the TF-41A2 engine and some other internal parts.
