A-1 Skyraider 'Lieutenant' on Ramp, Jim Wold Fly-In Day, May 2015

Nicknamed 'Lieutenant,' this restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider represents the rugged attack aircraft flown by U.S. Air Force pilots throughout the Vietnam War. Preserved and flown today by warbird enthusiasts, aircraft like this one keep the Skyraider's legacy of close air support and rescue escort missions alive for new generations. Project: 219284
