Douglas A-1 Skyraider 'Wiley Coyote' — Engine Start, Airshow Ramp
A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed 'Wiley Coyote' and finished in period Vietnam-era camouflage, runs up its radial engine on the ramp during a warbird gathering. The A-1 Skyraider served with distinction as a close-air-support and Search and Rescue escort (SANDY) aircraft throughout the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance load and long loiter time over the battlefield.
