Restored A-1 Skyraider 'Lieutenant America' (TC 665) on Display Ramp, Tennessee Air Museum

A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed 'Lieutenant America' and marked TC 665, sits on the ramp at a Tennessee air museum event. The Skyraider was the workhorse of Air Commando and Navy/Air Force close-air-support squadrons throughout the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance load and long loiter time over the battlefield.
