A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed 'Spad' by the pilots who flew it, sits on static display with its wings folded, a design feature that eased storage aboard carriers and on crowded ramps. Rugged and heavily armed, the Skyraider was prized by USAF Air Commandos and Navy aviators alike for close air support and Sandy rescue-escort missions over Vietnam and Laos. Project: 218866
