The tail of this A-7 has two zeros which are in the shape of metal nuts. This was an oldest jet in the squadron and it was not flown but used for spair parts. This A-7 was also used by the air wing officers and this is why the tail of the plane has a rain bow of colors which represent each squadron. VA 304 color was orange. This picture was taken after "00" finally had all parts replaced and could be flown in 1972.
