Ground Crew Marshaling A-1 Skyraider "Wiley E Coyote" at Engine Start, Tennessee Museum of Aviation

A ground crew volunteer marshals the A-1 Skyraider "Wiley E Coyote" as its radial engine roars to life in a cloud of exhaust smoke. Aircraft like this one flew demanding close air support and rescue escort missions during the Vietnam War and are kept flying today by museums and volunteer restoration crews. Project: 219252
