Two images spanning the Skyraider story: the battle-damaged A-1 "Peregrine," side number 258, parked on the ramp with a pilot on its wing, and three veteran aviators in squadron "party suits" at a later reunion. One of the reunion flight suits carries a "Sandy" patch, the call sign of the A-1 pilots who escorted rescue helicopters over Vietnam and Laos, connecting the aircraft to the men who kept flying its legacy alive.
