Aircrew gather beside their Douglas A-1 Skyraider after a flight-line ceremony. The fin carries the tail code TS and a serial reading AF 37 62 with the last digit out of frame, the same aircraft photographed elsewhere in this collection wearing the name BALLS A' FIRE. Below the cockpit is the small white placard naming the assigned pilot and crew chief, a standard USAF practice that gave the enlisted maintainer equal billing with the man who flew the aircraft. The airman at left wears a mesh survival vest, standard equipment for Skyraider crews flying over hostile territory. Project: 219827
