Two Restored A-1 Skyraiders on the Ramp (Tail Codes TC 665 and ET 606), Sevierville, Tennessee, 3-4 May 2019

Sevierville, Tennessee, 3-4 May 2019. Two airworthy Douglas A-1 Skyraiders sit on the ramp beneath the Great Smoky Mountains, wearing the Southeast Asia camouflage and squadron tail codes - TC and ET - of the units that flew them in Vietnam and Laos. Barely three dozen Skyraiders remain flyable anywhere in the world. Events like this one bring surviving aircraft and surviving aircrew together in the same place, an increasingly rare conjunction. From the Neal Melton material in the papers of A-1 pilot Donald L. Engebretsen. Project: 219252
