Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A U.S. Air Force Douglas A-1H Skyraider (s/n 52-135322) of the 4407th Combat Crew Training Squadron, 1st Special Operations Wing, at Hurlburt Field, Florida (USA), in 1971. Note the old U.S. Navy Mark 8 300 US gallon (1136 litre) centerline tank.
This aircraft had a colourful career. It was accepted by the U.S. Navy in August 1954 and was in service from 1954-1958 and 1963-1967. In 1964, it was assigned to Attack Squadron 145 (VA-145) and participated in the first "Pierced Arrow" strikes of the Vietnam War. It was transferred to the U.S. Air Force in 1967 and used to train pilots until 1971. It was then shipped to Vietnam and entered service with the Vietnamese Air Force until it was flown to Thailand in late April 1975 to avoid capture. After being flown as a "warbird" it was acquired by the U.S. National Air & Space Museum, Washington D.C., in 1983, where it was stored to await restoration.
