What is hanging/showing off the underside of the fusalage directly
below the cockpit?

It doesn't appear to be the wheel well doors.

It could be the airbrake, which has been deployed to allow the A-7 to
formate with the photo aircraft.

The airbrakes on F-8s always seem to droop when the aircraft is parked, but
the airbrake on A-7s does not, so it is rarely seen. I also get the idea
that the A-7 airbrake unfolds on deployment, so that it is bigger than the
housing.
