That actually looks like an A-1E skyraider to me, unless the Navy and Marines have a different designation for the same aircraft.

I agree with Paul Siano. I flew the 5W out of Chery Point NC while with VMC-2

Airborne tank, beauty no matter the branch. I favor the army air Corp, but being USAF --! A magnificent B1RD. Get that tail hook UP!

A great plane and a nice video but it's not an AD-5W. AD-5Ws had APS-20 radar and a large radome between the wheels which gave it a pregnant guppy look when viewed from the side, hence they were called Guppies. I was an AT-2, assigned to VAW-12, and an airborne radar operator aboard the Valley Forge, Lake Champlain, and Essex in the late 50s and early 60s. (I think its current designation is A-1E)

It could have been, when I was aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt [1960] we had one that had most of the equipment in the rear of the compartment removed and replaced with a winch used to tow aerial targets for the destroyers to shoot at. I got a ride in it one day. Later when I was stationed at NAS Quonset Point, RI, I saw a number of variants, had an O&R for the models.

I agree, it's not an AD-5W; probably an AD-5N. I have many hours in the AD-5Q from my time in the USN in the late 50's. The Q variant was equipped for ECM missions. A great airplane for sure!

very sad; an obnoxious way to damage in an irreversible way an airplane like douglas skyrider with such a canopy for a passenger. there are things in life that are not to be changed.

You might want to do some research. Some variants were made with a 4 place configuration
