Douglas A-1 Skyraider "TC 665" on Ramp at Lloyd TN Air Museum Air Show, June 2014

A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, tail-coded "TC 665," sits on the ramp at the Lloyd TN Air Museum during a June 2014 air show. The rugged, propeller-driven Skyraider — nicknamed the "Spad" by the pilots who flew it — served extensively in close air support and rescue escort roles during the Vietnam War. Beside it, a white trainer painted with historic invasion stripes prepares for a flight demonstration. Project: 219310
