Greece finally scraps the last of its A-7s.

Rough looking but still serviceable!

I always had a soft spot for the A-7. It was an unglamorous workhorse that served effectively not only for the USN and USAF, but for our Greek, Thai, and Portuguese allies as well.

Boy, that plane looks tired. What a pretty airplane though.

Sorry to see them go.

Man, that painter did a superb weathering job on that jet. One of the best I have seen, with regard to realistic panel line detailing.

I wonder if he used the hairspray chipping effect…
The panel line is probably a mixed wash of pirate black and dark gnome brown.
