Reunion Attendees Posing with Restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider "Lieutenant America"
Attendees at a Vietnam-era pilots' reunion pose before a restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed "Lieutenant America." The rugged, propeller-driven Skyraider served as a primary close air support and rescue-escort aircraft throughout the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance capacity and long loiter time over the battlefield.
