The Douglas A-1 Skyraider was a long-serving, single-seat, propeller-driven attack aircraft. The bulk of its service took place between 1940 and 1980, during both the Korean and Vietnam wars. Skyraiders that accompanied HH-3E “Jolly Green Giant” rescue helicopters and provided air support for combat search-and-rescue missions were given the callsign “Sandy”. Heritage Flight Museum is proud to exhibit the artifacts and stories of Skyraider pilots along with our early-1950’s Skyraider, “The Proud American”.
