An A-1 Skyraider taxis with its distinctive outer wing panels folded upward, a carrier-heritage feature that also helped conserve ramp space at crowded Vietnam-era air bases. The rugged, propeller-driven Skyraider ('Spad') remained in frontline U.S. service for close air support and search-and-rescue escort long after the introduction of jet aircraft, prized for its heavy payload and long loiter time over the battlefield.
