New Addition to USS Midway Museum: Restored Navy A-7 Corsair Monica Garske
A restore Navy A-7 Corsair is now on display at the USS Midway Museum.
With a crane and great care, a new light-attack jet was lifted onto the USS Midway Museum’s flight deck in San Diego Wednesday – a new addition that has taken two years to restore.
A 50-year-old U.S. Navy A-7 Corsair, which is on loan from the National Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida, was carefully craned onto the museum along San Diego’s downtown waterfront.
The museum’s aircraft restoration team had been restoring the jet for the past two years at Naval Air Station North Island, putting in more than 2,000 hours of work on the project.
