Airman Walking Past 'SPAD 8' Revetment on Wet Flight Line, Vietnam War Era

An airman walks the rain-soaked flight line past a revetment marked 'SPAD 8', denoting a parking area for an A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft nicknamed 'Spad.' The yellow FOD (Foreign Object Debris) barrel nearby reflects the constant vigilance required to keep aircraft engines free of damaging debris on wartime airfields in Vietnam. Project: 218896
