Banking hard against a clear sky, this A-1 Skyraider — tail code "TS" — flew with the 1st Special Operations Squadron, the famed "Hobos," based at Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base. Loaded with rockets, bombs, and drop tanks, Skyraiders like this one flew search-and-rescue escort and interdiction missions over the Ho Chi Minh Trail and North Vietnam, absorbing heavy anti-aircraft fire to protect downed airmen and disrupt enemy supply lines.
