Restoration Work on Douglas A-1 Skyraider, Tennessee Air Museum, April 2011

Volunteers work on the restoration of a Douglas A-1 Skyraider at the Tennessee Air Museum. Nicknamed "Spad" or "Sandy" by the pilots who flew close air support and combat rescue escort missions in Vietnam, the A-1 remains a favorite among warbird restorers for its rugged airframe and powerful radial engine.
