Douglas A-1 Skyraider Taxiing at Lloyd TN Air Museum Air Show, June 7, 2014

A Douglas A-1 Skyraider taxis at the Lloyd Air Museum air show in Tennessee, June 2014, with the Appalachian foothills rising behind it. Renowned for its heavy ordnance load and rugged durability, the Skyraider served the U.S. Navy and Air Force from the late 1940s through the Vietnam War, flying close air support and search-and-rescue escort missions long after the jet age began.
