Restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider 'Lieutenant America' on Display Ramp, Tennessee Airshow
A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed 'Lieutenant America,' rests on the ramp at a 2014 Tennessee airshow. Known to Vietnam-era pilots as the 'Spad,' the A-1 was prized for its ability to carry heavy bomb and rocket loads over long distances, making it a mainstay of close air support for MACV-SOG reconnaissance teams operating deep in hostile territory.
