Special Operations Association Reunion, 21 October 2014. Six veterans before the 'SPADS for MACVSOG' banner, its central image a Douglas A-1 Skyraider in shark-mouth markings. The Spad's long loiter time and heavy ordnance load made it the aircraft ground commanders wanted overhead when a MACV-SOG reconnaissance team was compromised across the border. Badges identify Larry Cavender, James Yu and Melvin G. Swanson; the laughing bearded man in the 'Skyraider' shirt is Don Engebretsen, who organized the reunion's SOG/SPAD Symposium. An orange flight party suit hangs on the display rail behind. Project: 219867
