Restored A-1 Skyraider on Static Display, Tail Code 'TC', Tennessee Air Museum, June 2014

A beautifully restored A-1 Skyraider, tail-coded 'TC', sits on display at a Tennessee aviation museum. Nicknamed 'Sandy' or 'Spad' by the airmen who flew it, the Skyraider was renowned for its heavy ordnance capacity and long loiter time, making it indispensable for close air support and rescue escort missions during the Vietnam War.
