Looks like an A-7.

What an amazingly hi-def video too.
VX-9 had a great video at Hook last year of a bunch of weps testing. They have a bunch of nifty hi-def digital cameras on their range. Speaking of Hook, who's going? I'll be there. :D

It looks like the right shape, from what little I've seen in drawings. Not dure about the "fins" or whatever they are sticking out of it. It's not Paveway, for sure. J-series? Awsome clarity on the video, though.

JSOW have penetration ability? I think that has wings.

I don't drop JSOW, but I thought it was a cluster munition. I does look a little like the wings of a JSOW, but since I don't use them, I'm not too spun up on them. Pretty SH angle of impact, too.

I'm pretty sure that it's a F-8, not an A-7. The curve of the vertical stabilizer just above the tailpipe gives it away. [/aircraft rec nerd stuff]

Cockpit looks too close to the tail though, that's what I was going off.

SWEEEEEEEEET! I can't wait to see the Vol 2 data on that. Those "wings" look pretty small to fly 40 NM. I wonder what altitude that's from.

Guarantee it's an A-7. Fuselage is fatter than F-8 and if you look at the wing you'll see that's it not set up to pop up like the mighty Crusader wing (can you say variable angle of incidence...or ramp strike?)
