Douglas A-1 Skyraider 'TS AF 37628' Landing Rollout with Drag Chute Deployed
Its braking parachute streaming behind, this A-1 Skyraider rolls out after landing at a busy Vietnam-era air base. The drag chute, an unusual feature for a piston-engine aircraft, helped the heavily loaded Skyraider stop safely on the compact runways it frequently operated from. Project: 219827
