Restored A-1 Skyraider "TC-665" Taxiing at Airshow, Tennessee

This restored A-1 Skyraider, painted in authentic Southeast Asia camouflage and carrying the tail code "TC-665," taxis for a flying demonstration at a Tennessee airshow. The Skyraider was the U.S. Air Force and Navy's premier propeller-driven attack aircraft of the Vietnam War, valued for its ability to absorb battle damage and deliver a heavy ordnance load in support of ground troops and search-and-rescue operations.
