Hard to imagine it possible to make the A-7 look even uglier looking, but this manages to do it. What a dog. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.160 (talk) 18:03, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bill, you mentioned in your move that by the YA-7F's first flight in 1989 that Vought had become independent again. However, the Vought article states that Vought only separated from LTV in mid-1992. Shouldn't this make it an LTV, and not a Vought, product? Or am I missing something?

I do agree though, trying to parse out all of LTV's corporate reshuffling is a nightmare.

Also, thanks for the courteous response. –Noha307 (talk) 03:32, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my edit summary wasn't very clear. I said "by which time it was Vought again", which was supposed to mean "by which time it (the aerospace division, not LTV the parent) was known as Vought again". Though upon further review of the Vought article, the division may have been known as LTV again by 1989. It's too bad the Flight International archives are down for upgrading, as that is always a good source of contemporary (mid 80's) information. Unfortunately, I don't have access to AvWeek's archives either. - BilCat (talk) 04:12, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
