A veteran climbs into the cockpit of a lovingly restored A-1 Skyraider named "Marlene," its nose art proudly declaring it "Uncle Ho's Nightmare." Reunion events like this one give former Skyraider pilots a rare chance to sit again in the aircraft that carried them through some of the most demanding combat missions of the Vietnam War.
