The Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed 'Spad' by the pilots who flew it, was a rugged, propeller-driven attack aircraft that served with distinction in the Vietnam War long after the jet age began. Prized for its heavy ordnance load, long loiter time, and ability to absorb battle damage, the Skyraider flew close air support and rescue escort missions for Air Force Air Commando and Special Operations squadrons. This beautifully preserved example, marked 'TC 665', keeps that legacy flying today. Project: 219310
