Douglas A-1 Skyraider 'America' Taxiing at Tennessee Air Show, Tail Code TC
The Douglas A-1 Skyraider, affectionately called 'the Spad' by the aircrews who flew it, served as a rugged, heavily armed attack aircraft during the Vietnam War long after most combat aircraft had transitioned to jets. This lovingly restored example, marked 'America' and coded 'TC,' is seen taxiing at an air show, carrying on the legacy of the pilots and ground crews who relied on the Skyraider's toughness and endurance in combat.
