Nice shots Mic. Some versions of the Skyraider could carry up to 12 passengers.

Indeed. G-RADR is an AD-4NA (aka A-1D). According to this it normally carried a crew of 3. http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/d/o/dob104/aviation/us/nattack.html

Beautiful shots Mic, Thanks for posting them.  I don't know if anyone is interested, but I read a book about how the A-1 Skyraider was used in Vietnam, it is called Cheating Death, By George Marrett. Very interesting storys about some crazy pilots. I've been a A-1 fan ever since. Mark

#3 is a beauty Mic, well done

Thanks for the info about the Skyraider Doug, I never knew that. I wonder what the other guys did other than put their hands over their ears and close their eyes  ;D
