I think the A-7 is a good choice to pair with the F-14 and A-6 and that the photo above would make a good catalog shot for CW- just do them all.

Hmmmn. I (and everyone else I think) was expecting a "Final Countdown" Black Aces. But delivery (1977) is a much better scheme.

i think this is the better scheme although they seemed to have a combination of low vis and high vis around this period
