A-7 D Corsair II, FRIENDS & Dreamers!
THE FIGHTER:
The A-7 Corsair was the staple of the Vietnam War. The attack and light bomber workhorse has carried out combat sorties as recently as Desert Storm. Many of these planes are still flying in foreign air forces, such as the Hellenic Air Force of Greece. We own 1 fully-restored A-7D cockpit.
We have full flight suits, helmets, oxygen masks, G-suits, parachutes and parachute harnesses to be used by the crew managing and displaying the DreamBIG events around the country.
This one-of-a-kind jet cockpit and other Military Fighters are increasingly hard to find. Post-9/11, the government has mandated the destruction of all demilitarized fighter jet aircraft. Private citizens can now only purchase scrap pieces of these magnificent aircraft. Because of this change in government policy, we have virtually no competitors in the market. Today, all flyable F-4’s and A-7’s are now being fitted by the U.S. Air Force with remote control flying devices and are used for ground-to-air and air-to-air missile testing off the Gulf of Mexico near the Florida coast. 2010 (based on unclassified government documents) the Air Force blew over 300 F-4’s out of the sky. This means that even small parts and instruments are no longer available. There are less than 25 flyable A-7's today. (All of which belong to the Hellenic Air Force.)
We are constantly monitoring the availability of the few cockpits that exist here and abroad. It is our intention to locate and restore these cockpits that becomes available. We devote considerable time to networking and searching all “bone yards” and old barns where fighters may be stored. Bringing these relics back to the public in a safe and entertaining museum opportunity while sharing the adventure, remains one of our current goals. So,........ If you see one, let us know.
