Douglas A-1 Skyraider on Static Display, Tennessee Air Museum, with Visitor in Cockpit

Douglas A-1 Skyraider. This rugged, propeller-driven attack aircraft served with distinction during the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance load, long loiter time, and ability to survive battle damage. Painted here in a Vietnam-era camouflage scheme, this Skyraider is preserved on static display, allowing visitors a rare opportunity to sit in the cockpit of an aircraft once flown in close air support and Search-and-Rescue escort missions.
