I have a request for help from the Officers and Enlisted of the Hellenic Air Force.

As some of you may already know I have a cockpit from and A-7D Corsair. From what I understand, there are two squadrons still flying A-7E and A-7H. If this is the case I am in dire need of key things that will help make my pit come to life.

Recordings:

Complete start up sequence both internal and external
Cockpit noise during taxi and in flight
Gear and flaps inside the cockpit
Any documentation on older RHAW systems
Over flight of and A-7 to hear the turbine
Plus shut-down sequence


Images:

Night illuminated cockpits
Wind screen shot at night to see if HUD is green or shows any illum
Nav and Beacon lights external (video to see the sequence)
Night shot of the Formation lights on the wing tips
Taxi and landing lights at night to see how far they illuminate

I realize that this is asking for allot. Anything that you guys or any other peeps out there will be a huge asset to my effort.

Thank you ahead of time.

Not to be a smart ass but this is a good place to start.

I will look around for you. One of my Squadmates knows some people, will see what we can do. Good luck on the pit.

scroll to bottom of page and you will have to look through -- I think I remember seeing a night cockpit shot.

There is also a video, of HAF anniversary planes. There is some footage of the A7 doing touch and goes that if you look really carefully will see the nav sequence.

These are exactly what I am looking for! Almost broght a tear to my eye seeing the Corsair in flight. All I have found is still images and very brief video. Brings back memorys of my childhood watching the Sioux City ANG unit flying overhead.

This image is very good to help me model the view from the pit. A-7 in Formation (http://www.haf.gr/media/A7-7.jpg)

Thank you very much.
