Douglas A-1 Skyraider (AD-6), USMC Markings 'MR-31', VMA-332 — Static Display, Right Profile
This restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider (AD-6) wears the markings of U.S. Marine Corps attack squadron VMA-332, tail code 'MR,' side number 31. The rugged, propeller-driven Skyraider served as a mainstay close-air-support and strike aircraft for Marine and Navy aviators throughout the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance capacity and ability to loiter over the battlefield far longer than contemporary jets. This example is seen on static display at a modern air show, preserving the legacy of Marine Skyraider crews. Project: 219922
