Special Operations Association Reunion, 2014. Members of the A-1 Skyraider contingent gather before their symposium session. The orange 'party suit' at center is embroidered 'A-1H SKYRAIDER' above an image of the aircraft; party suits, in unit colors and covered with squadron patches, were an informal tradition among fighter and attack squadrons and remain a fixture of reunions. The Skyraider, nicknamed 'SPAD,' flew close air support and rescue escort for MACV-SOG reconnaissance teams in Laos and Cambodia. Project: 219863
