Squadron members celebrate at what is remembered as the "last Spad party" at Pleiku Air Base, South Vietnam -- a farewell gathering tied to the A-1 Skyraider ("Spad"), the propeller-driven attack aircraft flown by U.S. Air Commando and rescue escort units during the Vietnam War. Informal social events like this offered brief respite for aircrews and support personnel between combat missions. Project: 219084
