A-1 Skyraider in Banking Flight, Air Show Demonstration, 2014

A vintage A-1 Skyraider performs a banking pass overhead during a warbird air show. The Skyraider, nicknamed 'Spad' or 'Sandy' by its Vietnam-era Air Force pilots, was prized for its heavy ordnance load and long loiter time, making it the aircraft of choice for close air support and search-and-rescue escort missions in Southeast Asia.
