Restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider "Lieutenant America," Tail Code TC 665, Static Display

This restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, named "Lieutenant America" and marked with tail code TC 665, represents the rugged single-engine attack aircraft that provided close air support throughout the Vietnam War. Loaded here with a full complement of external stores, it demonstrates the Skyraider's exceptional payload capacity, which earned it a reputation as one of the most heavily armed propeller-driven combat aircraft of its era.
