Douglas A-1 Skyraider on Landing Rollout, Head-On View, Rural Airfield

A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider rolls out on landing at a rural airfield during a warbird reunion event. The A-1, powered by a Wright R-3350 radial engine, served the U.S. Air Force as the primary 'Sandy' escort and attack aircraft for combat search-and-rescue missions over Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance load and long loiter time over downed airmen.
