A pig wearing a robe reading 'OLAA' served as an unofficial mascot at Operating Location Alpha Alpha, a covert forward base in Laos supporting the 56th Special Operations Wing's A-1 Skyraider operations along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. This lighthearted image, later used at a 2013 squadron reunion, reflects the camaraderie and dark humor that helped aircrews cope with the dangers of covert combat operations. Project: 218955
