Feel free to share your Skyraider photos from here or across the globe! This aircraft (US Navy BuNo 134600) was modified and painted by the Museum’s Restoration Division to represent Capt Smith’s Air Force Cross aircraft and placed on display in 2022. It was part of OPERATION FARM GATE and flown by the South Vietnamese Air Force from 1965 to 1975. The Air Force Museum Foundation partnered with the A-1 Skyraider Association to fund the A-1H restoration. #avgeek #history | National Museum of the U
