USAF A-1 Skyraider 'TS' Taxiing with Ground Crew and Tow Cart

Ground crew scramble into action as a Douglas A-1 Skyraider, tail-coded 'TS,' prepares to taxi with engine running. Scenes like this were a daily routine on flight lines during the Vietnam War era, when the rugged, heavily armed Skyraider was a mainstay of close air support and search-and-rescue escort missions.
