A-7 Corsair II or… Saying goodbye to a friend!

It served well with the Greek Air Force.

And now it is time for it to retire.

One of the most innovative aircrafts of all times, with a great range and a great “stamina”. Kept going when other “stopped”…

Saying thank you to a machine sounds strange for a philosophy portal. But again, I wouldn’t care less.

    Great article. There’s nothing wrong with getting philosophical about machines if they serve particularly well.

    I recently wrote an article about the F-101 Voodoo interceptor on my blog. I was in my early teens when Canada retired its Voodoos. They guarded the country well for over two decades, you don’t just throw that away.
