Sussex Airshow 2004... Had just rained making for good shots...







More to come later...

nice!! i went to the susex airshow 3 times while i lived in NJ al free hehehehe is the texan that was based there still flying?

Nice shots Flyboy 28

Very nice, but I thought the Skyraider was designated AD-4...

Thanks, all... Kevin, I thought so too, but the program said it was an A-1... That may be an earlier model...?

good photos, your skills seem to be improving:)

Nice shots Flyboy.

PS. Sussex Airshow 2004. Thought for one moment I'd missed out on something.
Quite a coincidence that I live in another Sussex - 3,000 miles away from yours.

Very nice, but I thought the Skyraider was designated AD-4...

You're both right.

The Douglas Skyraider was the AD  (-4 being the variant).  In 1962 (thereabouts) the designation of most military aircraft was "consolidated" and the AD became the A-1 (just as the F4H and F-110 became the F-4; but the few reamining F4D Skyrays I believe retained their F4D designations - Don't ask why the F-117 remains in the century series of fighter designations when it's really an attack ("A") aircraft.

Heh... Unless you wanna quick hop a BA flight, you're outta luck till next year.

Thanks all...

Cool. Thanks for the info, Felix.
