The kill occurred in August of 1972 while the Sluggers were deployed aboard USS SARATOGA (CV-60)for their only Vietnam cruise. (Duane Kasulka) I 1 I, A-7 CORSAIR IT - The A-7 was the first carrier jet designed specifically for use in a limited-war, with a primary mission of ground support and interdiction. The A-7A was first delivered to the A-7 training squadron. The first operational Fleet squadron was the newly established Argonauts ofVA-147, who began combat operations in December of 1967. only ten months after being established.
Before the squadrons became fully operational in February of 1966, their role was expanded to include a full light attack capability. A second squadron, VSF-3, was established on 1 April 1967 at NAS Alameda and was also equipped with A-4s. The first VSF deployment occurred in September of 1966 when the War Eagles of VSF-1 deployed aboard USS SHANGRI-LA as part of CVW-8. In August of 1967 both squadrons re-equipped with A-4Cs. Neither squadron ever deployed aboard a CVS before they were disestablished in January of 1970as part of a reductionin forces that occurred with the wind-down of the Vietnam War.
Although the RA-5C Vigilante was considered superior i n the tactical reconnaissance role, the less temperamental RF-8 was often used to replace the Vigilante o n smaller carriers. During 1972, VFP-63 received a number o f F-8H fighters becoming the Fleet Readiness Squadron ( F R S ) for the Crusader. VFP-63 became the last Crusader FRS when VF-124 transitioned to the F-14 Tomcat. This RF-8G (BuNo 145646) of VFP-63 the Eyes of the Fleet has the squadron nickname (in White) and a pair of bloodshot eyes glaring out from the canted wing during recovery aboard BON HOMME RICHARD (CVA-31) in June of 1970.
