LTV (Ling-Temco-Vought) TA-7C Corsair II. It is a two-seat trainer version of the A-7.
The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American subsonic light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by Ling-Temco-Vought.
The A-7 was developed in the early 1960s as a replacement for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. The design was derived from the Vought F-8 Crusader. Compared to the F-8, the A-7 was smaller and limited to subsonic speeds because the airframe was simpler and cheaper to produce.
Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) was a large American conglomerate that existed from 1961 to 2000. At its peak, its businesses included aerospace, airlines, electronics, steel manufacturing, sporting goods, meat packaging, car rental, and pharmaceuticals.
Incidentally, the Greek Air Force decommissioned the Corsairs in 2014.
