Wing Fold and Tail Number "665" Detail, A-1 Skyraider, Lloyd Tennessee Air Museum Air Show, June 7, 2014

The folded wing panel of Douglas A-1 Skyraider "665" displays the aircraft's bold tail number, photographed at the Lloyd Tennessee Air Museum air show on June 7, 2014. The Skyraider's hydraulically folding wings allowed more aircraft to be stored aboard aircraft carriers, a feature carried over from its origins as a U.S. Navy attack bomber before the type saw extensive Vietnam-era service with the Air Force and allied forces.
