Special Operations Association Reunion XXXVIII, Las Vegas, 2014. A four-man panel at the head table. The 'party suits' worn at either end carry the insignia of the A-1 Skyraider community — aviator wings, 'SPADS' patches and the 'YANKEE AIR PIRATE' skull and crossbones, a device American aircrew adopted from North Vietnamese propaganda. The Da Nang Skyraider detachment flew a large proportion of its sorties in direct support of MACV-SOG reconnaissance teams, and panels of this kind reunited the aircrews with the men they covered.
