IIRC, some A-7 were configured to carry buddy stores (for AAR). FWIW one of the things that bugs me of developments over the past decades is that we don't seem to have replaced the AAR capability of KA-6D. It's simply lost.
Every Super Hornet has a buddy store capability and I understand that every Super Hornet squadron has at least 2 AAR buddy stores, with most of the crews qualified to tank both as tanker and receiver.. That was part of the plan for the Super Hornet: it would replace F-14s and KA-6s. And with the advent of the Growler, its replacing the Prowler. Maybe the Super Hornets will be the tankers for F-35 as well.
The biggest gripe I have is that the Phoenix missile got retired with the Tomcats. AMRAAM is in no way a replacement for the Phoenix and now USN has no long range air-to-air weapon. Aegis and the SM-2/3 is supposed to fill the gap, but I have my doubts.
