Douglas A-1 Skyraider "Wiley Coyote," Tail Code ET-606, Airport Ramp

A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed "Wiley Coyote" and marked with tail code ET-606, on display at an aviation event. The rugged, propeller-driven Skyraider served as a mainstay of close air support and combat search-and-rescue escort missions during the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance capacity and long loiter time over the battlefield.
