Douglas A-1 Skyraider "Lieutenant America," Tail Code TC/AF 665, on Museum Ramp, 2 May 2015

The Tennessee Museum of Aviation's Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed "Lieutenant America" and marked TC/AF 665, sits on the ramp during the May 2015 reunion. The Skyraider served as the primary close air support and strike aircraft flown by South Vietnamese and American pilots throughout the Vietnam War, prized for its heavy ordnance capacity and long loiter time over the battlefield.
