This AD-6 (A-1H) Skyraider with serial 139674 is a recent addition to this excellent museum in Vientiane, Laos. The aircraft was delivered to South Vietnam and could be found on display with the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam since at least 1997. The sign reads: "AD-6 is a single seat attack aircraft produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company (USA). In 1966, the US imperialists aided the puppet Lao military with this type of aircraft for bombing provinces of Upper Laos, particularly during the Plain of Jars Operation in Xieng Khouang province from 1971 to 1972".
