In 1981-82, the Portuguese Air Force (FAP) received 50 (T)A-7P's. These were modified ex-US Navy A-7A's from AMARC storage. Esq302 and 304 at Monte Real have flown these fascinating jets, until they were replaced by F-16's in the first years of this decade. A-7P 5503 of Esc304 became 15503 before it was scrapped.
