In addition, the USAF ordered 30 two-seat A-7K trainers for Air National Guard use based on the Block 17 A-7D design. The serials were as follows:

No known A-7Ks were retained after their airframes were sent to the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC).

Beginning in 1990, A-7Ds began to be transferred to AMARC from Air National Guard units. A-7Ks began to be retired in 1991. By 1993 the fleet of A-7D/Ks were off the ANG rolls. Starting in 1998 the aircraft were removed from long-term storage and processed as scrap. All were off the AMARC inventory rolls by 2000.
