Douglas A-1 Skyraider Tail and Folded Wing, "TC 665", Museum Display

This Douglas A-1 Skyraider, tail-coded 'TC 665,' is displayed with its wing folded to show the aircraft's carrier-compatible design. The rugged, heavily armed Skyraider became a mainstay of close air support and 'Sandy' rescue escort missions during the Vietnam War, valued for its long loiter time and ability to absorb battle damage.
