A-1 Skyraider on Display, Museum of Aviation, Air Show

A Douglas A-1 Skyraider on static display outside the Museum of Aviation. Rugged and heavily armed, the propeller-driven Skyraider served as a stalwart close-air-support and rescue-escort aircraft for the U.S. Air Force and Navy during the Vietnam War, prized for its ability to loiter over the battlefield and absorb battle damage.
