Squadron Ready Room Bulletin Board — "The SPADS" Pilot Roster Display with Hanging Aircraft Model
A squadron operations room bulletin board, nicknamed "The Spads" after the A-1 Skyraider aircraft the unit flew. Pilot roster cards are organized by leadership role (Deputy Commander, Commander, Operations) and by flight assignment (A Flight and B Flight), a typical organizational display found in Air Force squadron ready rooms during the Vietnam War. A model aircraft hangs above the board, and a hand-marked map plaque commemorates the unit's operating area. Project: 218950
