A U.S. Air Force-marked A-1 Skyraider, tail number AF 132/683, sits on the ramp during the Tailwind Day commemorative event, its "RESCUE" stencils recalling the aircraft's historic role flying "Sandy" combat search-and-rescue escort missions during the Vietnam War, including operations supporting MACV-SOG ground teams such as Operation Tailwind.
