Two Douglas A-1 Skyraiders Parked Nose-to-Nose, Airport Ramp, Tailwind Day Commemorative Event

Two Douglas A-1 Skyraiders share the ramp at a commemorative gathering. Rugged and heavily armed, the Skyraider was a mainstay of close air support during the Vietnam War, flying missions over Laos and South Vietnam in support of ground operations, including the 1970 cross-border raid known as Operation Tailwind.
