This slideshow features an A-1 Skyraider nicknamed "Spad Dad II," tail code TC 665, banking in flight while carrying a heavy load of bombs and rocket pods. It showcases the aircraft's rugged airframe and enduring value in the close air support role, even under ordnance loads far exceeding its WWII-era design specs.
