A pilot secures his parachute harness in the cockpit of a Douglas A-1 Skyraider, the rugged single-seat attack aircraft that served with distinction in Vietnam-era search-and-rescue (Sandy) and close air support missions. Today, surviving Skyraiders like this one are lovingly maintained and flown by warbird enthusiasts, preserving the legacy of the pilots and crews who flew them in combat. Project: 219252
