A squadron building marked "SPAD" — the affectionate nickname for the Douglas A-1 Skyraider — displays a complete four-blade Skyraider propeller mounted as a unit emblem. Skyraider ("Spad") squadrons flew close air support, "Sandy" rescue escort, and interdiction missions throughout the Vietnam War, often operating from bases in Thailand and South Vietnam. Everyday base life continues around the display, with laundry drying on the line and a parachute canopy airing out nearby. Project: 219827
