Three U.S. Navy Ling-Temco-Vought A-7E Corsair II attack aircraft of Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) in the
Arabian Gulf on 24 October 1982. The A-7E nearer to the camera belonged to attack squadron VA-22 "Fighting Redcocks." It is overall light grey, which was used, when the
U.S. Navy transitioned from the high-visibility paint scheme used between 1956 and 1981 to low-visibility schemes. It also carries a Texas Instruments AN/AAR-45 FLIR pod.
The other two A-7Es were from VA-94 "Shrikes" and are already painted in (then) new low-visibility scheme. The Enterprise was on a deployment to the Western Pacific an
the Indian Ocean from 1 September 1982 to 28 April 1983.
