Current Use

A-7s are still used by Greek (Hellenic) Air Force (Elliniki Polemiki Aeroporia) and the Royal Thailand Navy Air Arm (Kong Tha Han Lur Thai).

Greek A-7H and TA-7H aircraft are flown by the 115th Fighter Wing at Souda Air Base, and A-7E and TA-7C by the 116th Fighter Wing at Araxos Air Base. Their tactical role is ground target attack and bombardment.

The Royal Thai Navy purchased 14 A-7E and 4 TA-7C airplanes for coastal defense and sea patrol duties. They were delivered during the summer of 1995. They are in service with the 104th "White Shark" squadron, 1st Wing at U-Tapao International Airport.

Both the Greek and Thai A-7s have been upgraded with many improvements, such as greater thrust from their TF-41 engines, upgraded avionics, radar, and full day/night capabilities.
