Douglas A-1 Skyraider Taxiing at Lloyd Air Museum Airshow, June 7, 2014

A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider taxis at the Lloyd Air Museum airshow in Tennessee, June 7, 2014. Rugged and heavily armed, the Skyraider served as a mainstay of close air support during the Vietnam War, flown by U.S. Air Force Air Commandos and allied pilots to protect ground troops and covert reconnaissance teams. Preserved aircraft like this one keep that legacy alive for new generations of airshow visitors. Project: 219310
