AD-4 Skyraider

I love the McDonnell-Douglas (Boeing) A-4 Skyraider fleets. I very rugged airplane for its time!!!!

couldn't help it

put a big smile on my face

The history of the AD-4 Skyraider is in the SEP 08 edition of Aviation History Magazine.

Man what a great idea stick a B29 engine in a single engine airframe and viola you have a single seater that can pack a B17's bomload while flying 40mph faster.I absolutly love watching the AD/A1s at oshkosh as unlike some of the rarer warbirds the AD pilots arent afraid to toss their machines about the sky.The part of the demonstration I have the most fun watching are the steep dives and equally insane climbouts that pilots put this huge plane through.

thats an awesome airport. really like how the hangers are really up to date but yet the runway is grass (oldschool)

Nice Sandy! The a10 designers should have taken it to heart to make it as pretty as what it was replacing.

My all time favorite aircraft! My father flew ADs in the Marine Corp in the 50's. When I win the lottery my first purchase will be a "Able Dog"! Thanks for posting!

Well I didn't have a tripod available at this time.
