A rare interior view of a preserved A-1 Skyraider cockpit, showing the aircraft's original instrument panel and seat. The rugged Skyraider, nicknamed "Spad" by its crews, carried a heavier bomb load than many contemporary jets and became famous for its work in close air support and rescue escort missions over Vietnam. Preservation and documentation efforts like this one help keep these historic airframes flying and accessible for future generations. Project: 219533
