LTV was pitching a new version of the A-7 to the Navy, and the Marines were quite content with their F-4s at the time, the types that the Hornet replaced. Both types were considered superior in their respective roles, Light attack and Fighter, compared to the Hornet. Although the Hornet gave both types a dual capability that neither had possessed before.
No hating on Hornets!!
They've always been one of my favorite jets.

Right! They'll look good with some painting and weathering in there.

Thanks guys! There may be a lot to clean up but at least it's nothing I can't handle.
