Douglas A-1 Skyraider 'Lieutenant America' (TC 665) on Flight Line, Tennessee Air Show, June 2014
A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed 'Lieutenant America' and marked with tail code TC 665, rests on the ramp during a June 2014 Tennessee air show, alongside other flying warbirds including vintage T-6 Texan trainers. The Skyraider was the U.S. military's primary propeller-driven attack aircraft during the early Vietnam War, prized for its heavy weapons load and rugged battlefield durability; today, surviving examples like this one continue flying at air shows to honor that legacy.
