I just phoned to one of my friends and he (knowing me as an aircraft pics collector) stated he had a picture of an LTV A-7 Corsair II in Pakistani colors. This should be one of the examples originally intended for PAF, but never delivered..
As long as I have not seen the pic I cannot confirm that, but the guy ain’t noone that cannot recognize an A-7 from a Lawndart.. Got anyone more info?

Further to this thread, I was looking at the January 1977 issue of Air International. There was a news brief which mentioned that on Nov 16 1976, the US DoD had recommended approval of a $700m sale of 110 A-7 aircraft to Pakistan. It further stated that the deal wouldn’t be confirmed until after Jimmy Carter’s inauguration on January 1977. The article further stated that due to the uncertainty of the deal, that a BAC sales team had arrived in Pakistan to discuss possible sales of more than 100 Jaguars. It also mentioned that the nuclear reprocessing plant purchase from France may have a bearing on any US decision.
