A Douglas A-1 Skyraider, marked with tribute nose art reading 'Naked Fanny,' pays homage to Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base (NKP) — the airfield American aircrews nicknamed 'Naked Fanny' — home to the A-1 Sandy squadrons that flew rescue-escort and close air support missions during the Vietnam War. Rugged and heavily armed, the propeller-driven Skyraider remained in frontline service years after jets replaced most piston attack aircraft, prized for its long loiter time and ability to absorb battle damage.
