A pig draped in a sheet lettered "OLAA" stands in a service yard at Da Nang, about April 1970. OLAA - Operating Location Alpha Alpha - was the A-1 Skyraider detachment of the 56th Special Operations Wing, flying Spad close air support and Sandy rescue escort, and this animal was its mascot. Livestock mascots were common in Southeast Asia flying units: acquired locally, dressed for squadron parties, and fiercely defended against rival units. Photograph by Donald L. Engebretsen, who flew with OLAA during this period. Project: 218950
