Douglas AD Skyraider (N2AD)

Nice shot.

Very cool shot! 5*

Thank you!

I'm not a pilot just an old lady to likes to look at planes. Can you give a function for
this Douglas Skyraider.

Close air support like the more modern A-10 Warthog.

Additionally (for Magdalen Sparaco) this plane, with it's massive engine, would carry a bomb load in excess of that of the B-17.

Solid airplane. Walked out on the wing once and it felt like I was still walking on the ground. No give it that makes sense.

Beautiful shot, as Sandy flexes her muscles.
Snake-n-nape, anyone?

She whistles as she comes to visit. Doom on You
Fantastic photo

Now that's what they call a war bird.

I think I read in the Stars and Stripes, that it was an AD that shot down the first Mig-21 in Vietnam. With the sun at his back when the Mig picked him up, the Mig turned and tried to run. Full afterburner and the Sidewinders screamed. Two right up the tailpipe. That's what I remember at any rate.
