This close-up view highlights the nose art and 'RESCUE' marking on a restored A-1 Skyraider, an aircraft type flown extensively during the Vietnam War by Air Force and Air Commando pilots in the ground-attack and combat search-and-rescue escort roles. Nicknamed 'Spad' and known by the callsign 'Sandy' in the rescue mission, the Skyraider's rugged airframe and heavy ordnance capacity made it a mainstay of downed-pilot recovery operations.
