OLAA Veterans Reunion at Aviation Museum Before A-1 Skyraider Display, Operation Tailwind Event, April 2016

Veterans associated with the OLAA (Order of the Laotian Air Attaches) gather beneath a preserved Douglas A-1 Skyraider during a 2016 reunion tied to Operation Tailwind, a 1970 covert cross-border operation into Laos. The Skyraider, a rugged propeller-driven attack aircraft, provided close air support for special operations forces throughout the Vietnam War. Project: 219527
