Concur with location.
Ocala FL, east side of I-75 at about FL MM 353 or so.
It's an A-7 Corsair II, the replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk. The tail livery is VA-105 (Attack Squadron 105, Gunslingers).

We are just bottomless pits of arcane knowledge aren't we .....
Yaw know airplanes! Great place to visit.
Went to see the Swamp Rat(s), remember the A-7 out front. That's how my mind works.
LoL, know watt u mean.
going to take 4 weeks for pump rebuild
Four weeks spent now will save you head aches in the long run.
Pelago had an original G.I. issue pump all along. He returned the civilian pump that he had previously rebuilt for a refund, then sent the G.I. pump in for a refresh. The M38A1 took a special pump and spacer to clear the fording vent fitting and tube. He could have removed the fitting, but he had already routed the vent tube. I commend him for doing the job correctly, even though it pushes out the expected start date out by 4 weeks. It's funny that me personally, will strive to find date coded correct parts for the military restoration. When it comes to my own CJ2A, if it isn't too obvious, let it ride. The wagon is a whole other story. It will be a stock frame and body, but modernized with a different engine.
ANOTHER MILESTONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really quite a insignificant thing, most of you guys would not even bat a eye at this... I CHANGED OUT A "U" JOINT!!!! on the drive shaft to rear differential,,, one of the original :U: joints was still quite tight, have to admit i had a mechanic friend actually knock out the old u joints on both drive shafts.... but now the main drive has a new u joint and also have "U" bolts to put it in..... last time i did this was 1962 on my 54 ford.... actually watched a video on utube about changing u joints, i was afraid i would dick it up 24days and counting on fuel pump
just a few things to finish up this section of restoration, then on to the body work, which is kind of extensive
