Photo Comment

This venerable old aircraft flew 219 combat missions over Vietnam, concluding with the last ever combat mission by a Skyraider. During one of these missions this Spad scored one of the two jet kills by the type in the conflict. She is now ennjoyering her well earned retirement on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.
