The Corsair was adopted by the United States Air Force and the Air National Guard to replace the A-1 Skyraider, F-100 Super Sabre, and F-105 Thunderchief. The aircraft was also exported to Greece in the 1970s and to Portugal and Thailand in the late 1980s. The A-7's design was based on Chance Vought's successful supersonic F-8 Crusader. It was one of the first fighter jets to feature a head-up display, an inertial navigation system (INS), and a turbofan engine.
The A-7E version was the carrier-based equivalent of the A-7D; 529 were built.
