Single Propeller Attack Aircraft in Flight, Operation Tailwind Commemorative Event, 2016
A propeller-driven attack aircraft, consistent in profile with the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, flies overhead during a 2016 commemorative gathering honoring the veterans of Operation Tailwind, a 1970 covert MACV-SOG operation into Laos. Skyraiders like this one provided close air support for SOG reconnaissance teams throughout the war, and memorial flyovers such as this one continue to honor their legacy. Project: 219527
