Veterans of an A-1 Skyraider squadron gather beside a restored "Sandy" attack aircraft at a reunion event. The Skyraider, nicknamed "AMERICA," served as a rugged single-engine attack and search-and-rescue escort platform during the Vietnam War, prized by aircrews for its heavy ordnance capacity and long loiter time over combat zones. Decades after their service, former airmen return to honor the aircraft and the missions that defined their military careers. Project: 219279
