Douglas A-1 Skyraider, Head-On Approach with Pilot Visible in Cockpit

A Douglas A-1 Skyraider taxis down the runway at a warbird reunion, its pilot visible beneath the canopy. Developed for the U.S. Navy and later adopted by the U.S. Air Force, the Skyraider became legendary for its rugged reliability and heavy weapons load during Vietnam-era combat search-and-rescue operations.
