The A-7's empty weight was a bit over 20K IIRC, certainly not 15 (even in
the A-7A version ... the E was much heavier). The A-7 never lifted its
empty weight in stores. That would have taken it well over max gross.

But one has to understand that an A-7 could pick it's own weight up
in ordinance. Empty weight for the A-7E was just over 15,000 lbs
including fuel. Loaded, it was a bit over 30K. If you could sling
it under it, it could lift it. The D and E models (AF and Navy)
were are remarkable Aircraft for it's size. And it carried two
Aim9s as well.


funny, that's not what it says at the Vought web site, but hey,
they only built them, what would they know?

Well, Troll. Since you have no idea how they were actually used, you
are
just trolling. Now go back to playing with your little plastic
soldiers.

neither you, nor anyone else, can eliminate the laws of physics.

the manufacturer states what the empty, max, and fuel weights were for
the plane. they don't add up to your numbers.

either you, or Vought and the Air Force, are lying. i'll let others
decide which is which on their own

redc1c4,
what say the residents of RAM; is he talking out his ass again?
