A-1 Skyraiders in Hangar with Ground Crew, Cavanaugh Flight Museum

Two restored Douglas A-1 Skyraiders rest wings-folded inside the hangar, ground crew tending to preflight preparations. The Skyraider's distinctive folding-wing design, inherited from its carrier-based Navy origins, allowed for compact storage even in land-based Air Force squadron service during the Vietnam War.
