USAF A-1 Skyraider Pilot on Flight Line, Tail Code 'TS,' Southeast Asia

An Air Force A-1 Skyraider pilot pauses on the flight line, survival vest and leather flying cap in place, beside his camouflaged aircraft marked with tail code 'TS.' Scenes like this were common at forward bases such as Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, where Skyraider crews flew close air support and rescue escort ('Sandy') missions throughout the Vietnam War.
