This Douglas A-1 Skyraider, marked 'TC 665,' represents the rugged propeller-driven attack aircraft flown by U.S. Air Force Air Commando squadrons during the Vietnam War. Nicknamed 'Sandy' in its rescue-escort role, the Skyraider provided close air support for downed airmen and covert reconnaissance teams, including those on classified MACV-SOG missions like Operation Tailwind.
