Description

The squadron’s insignia was approved by CNO on 30 June 1967. The squadron is named after a band of heroes in Greek mythology, Jason and the Argonauts), who searched the oceans in quest of adventure and personal reward.


The LTV A-7 Corsiar is a carrier-based subsonic light attack aircraft  introduced to replace the US Navy's A-4 Skyhawk, initially entering service during the Vietnam War. The Corsair II was later adopted by the USAF, to include the ANG, to replace the A-1 Skyraider, F-100 Super Sabre and F-105 Thunderchief. The aircraft was also exported to Greece in the 1970s, and Portugal and Thailand in the late 1980s. The A-7 airframe design was based on the successful supersonic Vought F-8 Crusader. It was one of the first combat aircraft to feature a head-up-display (HUD), an inertial navigation system (INS), and a turbofan engine.

Naval carrier-capable equivalent of the A-7D; AN/APN-185 navigational radar in earlier A-7D is replaced by AN/APN-190 navigational radar, AN/APQ-126 terrain following radar in earlier A-7D is replaced by AN/APQ-128 terrain following radar; 529 built.
