Douglas A-1 Skyraider 'Wiley Coyote' on Ramp with Ground Crew, Air Show Event, 3-4 May 2019
A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed 'Wiley Coyote,' sits on the ramp at a Tennessee air show as a ground crew volunteer in a Tennessee Museum of Aviation vest prepares the aircraft for taxi. The A-1 'Spad' served as a rugged single-seat attack and close air support aircraft during the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance load and long loiter time over the battlefield. Warbird preservation events like this one keep the aircraft's history alive for new generations. Project: 219252
