Plane type: A-7E Corsair II

An Attack Squadron 72 (VA-72) A-7E Corsair aircraft heads for its target in Iraq with a load of eight Mark 82 500-pound bombs during Operation Desert Storm. The aircraft is also armed with an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile on its fuselage cheek-position point. VA-72 was based aboard the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) in the Red Sea. DoD photo
When the United States began its intervention in the Persian Gulf region following Iraq’s Aug. 2, 1990 invasion and seizure of Kuwait, Navy pilots of the A-7E Corsair II were told at first that there would be no role for them. The Navy’s last two light attack squadrons, VA-46 “Clansmen” and VA-72 “Blue Hawks,” had begun planning to retire their high-wing, subsonic Vought warplane. The units already had a schedule for transforming themselves into strike fighter squadrons and transitioning to the F/A-18A/B Hornet.
