The LTV (A-7) "Corsair" II 🇺🇲, was an attack aircraft created for aircraft carriers, designed by Ling-Temco-Vought and was introduced to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk in the US naval service. It's based on the successful F-8 Crusader naval fighter produced by Chance Vought, under a concept by David Harold Byrd.

Just one more prompt for the Boys vs the DC universe;
Batman vs Billy Butcher!
They both lost people dear to them, and regularly go against those with powers despite being powerless, all in the name of vengeance.
But Butcher let his vengeance consume him to the point that he stopped caring about the lives of the innocent who get caught in the crossfire, only caring about getting back at Homelander to the point that he thinks EVERY superhero is just as bad as he is.
Batman on the other hand learned how to control his rage and channels it to motivate himself to NEVER cross the line, because it make him just as bad as the scum he fights. He knows that killing is like a drug that can darken the soul, and if he were to allow himself to cross that line, he knows he’ll never go back. He made a promise to never do so.
Bruce would definitely feel insulted by Butcher’s actions, since Butcher is essentially what he has to keep himself from becoming every-time he dons his mask. A man who takes the easy way, who enjoys hurting others to the point he became EXACTLY like the people he despised.
Bruce would find the evidence to permanently take down Vought, go after the Boys, give Milk and Hughie the chance to go back to their normal lives, and easily take down Butcher, and drag him kicking, and screaming bloody murder and lock him up in the most secure holding cell that Arkham has to offer. Because Batman is more than vengeance, he’s a true knight of justice! Something that Butcher has long since turned his back on.
"F-Fuck," panted an injured Billy Butcher, who clutched the crowbar in his shaking hands.
Beaten black & blue, blood pouring from one of his nostrils and the edge of his lips; his right eye was nearly swollen. The leader of The Boys found himself in a situation that many criminals dreaded; a fight with The infamous Batman. Billy didn't know how, but he figured that the Dark Knight had a hand in something he tried and failed to do for years: Bring down Vought. The once untouchable company was now facing many charges, the top executives & CEOs facing prosecution and many victims of Compound-V Supes were stepping forward.
If it was back when he first began his crusade against Vought, it would've been the end of it for William "Billy" Butcher. But, his rage against Homelander grew into hatred against all Supes, heroes & villains. In his eyes, they were corrupt hedonists, ticking time bombs. He wanted to see every Supe dead and was nearly successful if it wasn't for the Seven being brought down by the Justice League. Now, he was alone, the other members of The Boys likely have been likely taken out. Frenchie and Kimiko were tied to a pillar, meanwhile, Soldier Boy was found knocked out. Milk and Hughie seemed to have surrendered without a fight, due to the fact that there wasn't a reason to.
"It's over, Butcher," Batman's voice ring out from the shadows, making the injured man look around. "we can end this without further violence."
"Is that so, eh mate?" Billy replied, letting out a pained chuckle. "you and your Supe pals taking down those Vought Cunts and suddenly we're all buddies?!"
"You're unhinged," the Bat of Gotham answered, as he drops down from a railing; shrouded in the shadows. "you planned on killing every metahuman on the Earth with Luthor's enhanced Amazo Virus."
"It would've wiped every Supe off the bloody Earth! Bastards like Homelander, Pyscho, Veritgo!"
"They deserve to stand trial for their crimes," the Caped Crusade said, approaching Billy. "but not every Metahuman is like that. There are heroes, genuine in their cause. Other Metahumans who wish to live in peace, the peace that you and Beth were robbed of."
"Keep her name outta your bloody mouth!" Butcher proceeded to charge toward Batman, who evaded the swing of the crowbar and delivered decisive blows to his torso and face. Billy fell down onto his back, groaning in defeat.
"William," Batman spoke, "you need help. Your vengeance turned you into the very thing you fought against, nearly taking down everyone who followed you. This is not what Beth wanted, Billy, and deep down you know that."
"S-Shut up," he panted, his blue eyes glaring at the vigilante in black & grey.
"Stop," the Dark Knight instructed, kneeling down to restrain Butcher's wrist with custom-made rope. "it's over. Maybe time in Arkham will give you some perspective, or at least get you to see how far you've fallen."
