Nose Art Detail of A-1 Skyraider 'Lieutenant America' Inside Tennessee Air Museum Hangar, April 2011
Photographed inside its hangar in April 2011, the A-1 Skyraider 'Lieutenant America' displays its distinctive nose art -- a patriotic 'V for Victory' shield -- while visitors examine the cockpit up close. Before appearing at outdoor airshows, this restored Skyraider was maintained and displayed at the Tennessee Air Museum, preserving the legacy of the Vietnam-era 'Sandy' rescue escort aircraft.
