A General Electric GAU-2B/A 7.62 mm (0.300 in) “Minigun” Gatling-style machine gun, with a rate of fire of 3,000 rounds/minute and 1,500 rounds of ammunition. The weapon was fitted in the right side of the aircraft’s nose. A gunsight and gun camera were also fitted.

Tougher landing gear for rough-field operation.
Installation of GE J-85 engines of 2400# thrust

Formerly operated by the US Air Force, the aircraft was given to Vietnamese AF. The aircraft was one of two A-37 aircraft that were illegally imported into the USA via Canada. The aircraft were seized in 1989 by US customs and given to the Wings of Eagles Museum in Elmira NY. After a holding period the Museum was given permission to sell the aircraft. The current owner purchased the aircraft from a museum, and it is now FAA registered. Customs provided a full release on the aircraft enabling civilian ownership.
