Veteran Examining Cockpit Gunsight of Preserved Douglas A-1 Skyraider, May 2019 Event
A veteran examines the reflector gunsight in the cockpit of a preserved Douglas A-1 Skyraider during a May 2019 gathering. The A-1 Skyraider, a rugged single-seat, propeller-driven attack aircraft, was flown by Air Commando 'Sandy' pilots throughout the Vietnam War to provide close air support and to escort search-and-rescue helicopters recovering downed airmen.
