Preserved Douglas A-1 Skyraider Taxiing, Head-On View, Tennessee Air Show, 7 June 2014
A preserved Douglas A-1 Skyraider taxis under its own power during a 2014 air show, its radial engine and four-bladed propeller turning over as it prepares for flight. Loaded here with external tanks or ordnance pods beneath its wings, the Skyraider represents the type of heavily armed, long-endurance attack aircraft that provided vital close air support and rescue escort throughout the Vietnam War.
