Douglas A-1 Skyraider "Lieutenant America" (Tail Code TC) Taxiing at Air Show, June 2014
A privately restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed "Lieutenant America" and marked with tail code "TC," taxis at a Tennessee air show in June 2014. The A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed "Sandy" or "Spad" by aircrews, served as a rugged, propeller-driven attack aircraft during the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance capacity and long loiter time in the close air support and combat search-and-rescue escort roles.
