The only A-7's I'm aware of are on base, and thus double-super-secret-off-limits to civilians (OPSEC!) At least, that was my experience.

The a/c is on jackstands that are covered by the brick structures. I asked the airport manager for details and Jim passed along that the a/c arrived with no landing gear. They used extra bricks from when they refaced the terminal building to build the structures...

If someone knows of some landing gear for an F-105B model....... :D
