VAH-7 History
Circa 1950
A BIT OF HISTORY: "...Commissioned at NAS Moffett Field, California, in October, 1950, Composite Squadron Seven moved to NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, in 1951, and to NAS Sanford, Florida, in 1955. Redesignated VAH-7 on July 1, 1955, the squadron exchanged its Savages for Skywarriors in early 1958. However, VAH-7's association with the Douglas heavy attack aircraft lasted only a little over three years (during which only a partial deployment was made when some VAH-7 aircraft and crews supplemented VAH-1 aboard the USS Independence, CVA-62) as it began its transition to North American A3J-1s in August, 1961. After transitioning to the RA-5C, the Peacemakers became RVAH-7 on December 1, 1964...." WebSite: A-3 Skywarrior Association http://www.a3skywarrior.com/hatrons7-13.htm [07MAR2005]
