Distant A-1 Skyraider in Flight with Gear Down, Operation Tailwind Commemorative Event
A restored warbird aircraft, its landing gear extended, flies overhead during an 'Operation Tailwind Day' commemorative gathering. Events like this honor the 1970 MACV-SOG raid into Laos, in which A-1 Skyraiders and other Air Commando aircraft provided critical air support to Special Forces reconnaissance teams operating deep behind enemy lines.
