    The Skyraider is better known as the A-1 Skyraider it also had the nickname of Spad. Spad was a bit of a derisive nickname as it was prop driven aircraft from 1945 still being used in the Viet Nam war. The Spad being a WWI biplane fighter.
    It worked well as a ground attack aircraft as it was much slower than the jet aircraft. Also it could carry 4 tons of various ordinance aka bombs.
    The photos are from the Planes of Fame airshow in Chino.
