Event Description

The first flight of the A-7 Corsair II took place 26 September 1965.  The airframe would go on to serve in every major conflict from Vietnam to Desert Storm.  Utilized by the US Navy, US Air Force, US Air National Guard, Portuguese Air Force, Thai Air Force, and Hellenic Air Force, the Corsair II was finally retired from service in 2014.  To commemorate this aircraft's storied history and the sacrifice of those service members who flew and maintained the airframe throughout its 49 year history, the A-7 Corsair II Association is hosting its first annual virtual 5K run/walk. Funds raised from this event will be used to support the Associations' goals including scholarships for America’s youth for various programs focusing on science, technology, engineering, mathematics, critical thinking, and of course, aviation. ✈️
