On Thursday, August 15, members of the Iowa Army and Air National Guard “sling load” an historic U.S. Air Force jet, an A-7K Corsair II, via CH-47F Chinook helicopter. The A-7, from the 185th Air Refueling Wing in Sioux City, Iowa was flown via sling load to Camp Dodge, Johnston, Iowa.
This two-seat Corsair has been in storage at the Sioux City Airbase for more than 15 years. Built in 1981, the aircraft honors crew chief Tech. Sgt. Bruce Johnson and pilot Capt. Andy Erickson, both former unit members who maintained and flew this specific aircraft but are now deceased. Technicians from the 185th Air Refueling Wing refurbished the aircraft with new metalwork and fresh paint, replicating its appearance at the height of the Cold War during the 1980s. The aircraft will be on permanent display at the Iowa Gold Star Military Museum outdoor equipment display at Camp Dodge.
The 185th Tactical Fighter Group, Sioux City flew the Corsair from 1977 until converting to the General Dynamics F-16 Falcon in 1991. While flying A-7s, the unit won their second Gen. Carl Spaatz trophy in 1990, recognizing them as the best Air National Guard unit in the country. They also won their second 12th Air Force A-7 gunnery award (1989), as well as the Gunsmoke A-7 Maintenance Team Award that same year. In 2003, the 185th turned in their F-16 fighters and began flying the KC-135 “Stratotanker” refueling aircraft, which they continue to fly today.
The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV).
The A-7 was developed during the early 1960s as replacement for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Its design was derived from the Vought F-8 Crusader; in comparison with the F-8, the A-7 is both smaller and restricted to subsonic speeds, its airframe being simpler and cheaper to produce. Following a competitive bid by Vought in response to the United States Navy's (USN) VAL (Heavier-than-air, Attack, Light) requirement, an initial contract for the type was issued on 8 February 1964. Development was rapid, first flying on 26 September 1965 and entering squadron service with the USN on 1 February 1967; by the end of that year, A-7s were being deployed overseas for the Vietnam War.
The Boeing CH-47 Chinook is a tandem rotor helicopter developed by American rotorcraft company Vertol and manufactured by Boeing Vertol. The Chinook is a heavy-lift helicopter that is among the heaviest lifting Western helicopters. Its name, Chinook, is from the Native American Chinook people of Oregon and Washington state.
The Chinook was originally designed by Vertol, which had begun work in 1957 on a new tandem-rotor helicopter, designated as the Vertol Model 107 or V-107. Around the same time, the United States Department of the Army announced its intention to replace the piston engine–powered Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave with a new, gas turbine–powered helicopter. During June 1958, the U.S. Army ordered a small number of V-107s from Vertol under the YHC-1A designation; following testing, it came to be considered by some Army officials to be too heavy for the assault missions and too light for transport purposes. While the YHC-1A would be improved and adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps as the CH-46 Sea Knight, the Army sought a heavier transport helicopter, and ordered an enlarged derivative of the V-107 with the Vertol designation Model 114. Initially designated as the YCH-1B, on 21 September 1961, the preproduction rotorcraft performed its
