Douglas A-1 Skyraider Taxiing at Tennessee Airshow, June 7, 2014
A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider taxis under its own power, its distinctive four-blade propeller and radial engine on full display. Flown extensively by U.S. Air Force Air Commando squadrons during the Vietnam War, the Skyraider earned a legendary reputation for its heavy ordnance load and ability to loiter over the battlefield, making it a favorite of ground troops calling in close air support and rescue escort missions.
