I was a Crew Chief at Danang, Vietnam on these rugged, armor plated beauties. They saved alot of lives.

NO MUSIC-A fantastic video guys. Engine sounds absolutely great-plane looks great too-no doubt it flies perfect.Outstanding guys.

I was in Da Nang in 1969-70. We had these in the 56th SOS. I was an avionics technician and we supported them. What a gung-ho group of guys. If I remember correctly, the pilots were all volunteers and the plane would carry more than it's own weight in ordinance. They were ideal for close air support and used during pilot rescue. These things burned lots of oil because the wings would be covered with oil. I loved hearing these things run. The Navy originally had these birds in the early 50's. When the Air Force brought then out of mothballs and outfitted them for service in Viet Nam, they put lots of armor plating in them. They were hard to shoot down.

Beautiful aircraft, thank you for the video.

This is the air plane that inspired me to become a fighter pilot

Great Video...would like to have seen the Take-off..

What a great aircraft, nicely displayed (what happened to the takeoff?). I was fortunate enough to fly one, a 2 seat A5E at Bien Hoa in 1966. What a shame that modern camera phone technology can't handle rotating props and makes them do weird things like stop when the aircraft is taxying! Thanks for a nice little video.

My wife and I were in TN last month. She is from there and my sister and a brother live out there.In the 29 years that I had gone out there, I had never been to the museum until this last time.My sister had all of my father's flight logs from his Air Force career. I checked tail numbers and discovered that my dad had flown this exact airplane in Vietnam. It was before the "Lieutenant America" was painted on the nose cone. That was done by the crew the following year.

How could a plane that size carry so much ordanance. What a sound.

More aircraft especially WW2 planes need to be restored

Great- NO MUSIC or annoying announcing. But no take off shot.

Gteat plane, the Sky Raider.. i flew it off the carrier Shangrila in the 1950s.

My perfect dream aircraft😍

MagNIFicent!!

Este poderoso avión , cuando presto servicios enbarcado fue el único que pudo despegar sin usar la catapulta . Despegaba con los más de 3000 HP de su motor .

Nice! 👍✈️
