Description
...A-1E Skyraider for Neil (neiwil).
[Neil is in the process of making a 3D digital model of one of these aircraft].
...US Air Force pilot, Major Bernie Fisher, awarded the Medal of Honor for actions on March 10, 1966 in this aircraft..."above and beyond the call of duty".
...Who, what, when, where, why, how?
Got a couple of minutes? Here's the story.
Bill
P.S. Zoom worthy.

Good photo showing the Skyraider's large capacity for armament, and wide range of diverse armament at that! Thanks for the link to the article about Fisher - another man doing what was necessary to save a fellow pilot's life. A lot of people rise above fear and concern for themselves under extra-ordinary circumstances. It's wonderful to see/read about examples like that! Keep up the good work! :-)
Excellent shots Bill and that is an awesome array of arms.
Wow ... look at all those thingies under the wings! Collect the whole set! :D
excellent
LOL at Tara! Pokemon killers.
Awesome aircraft and good story! Thanks for the link!
Great aircraft captures Bill, well done!!
Excellent shots!
Wow what an amazing piece of history.
Cool! I'm only doing a single seat version but this shows some excellent prop and cowl detail...and a great link, you know I love that sort of thing!! Cheers Bill....
Excellent photos, Bill Love Tara's comments Thanks for the link
LOL @ Tara!!! I can just imagine you two in a hangar... Great shots of this lean mean fighting machine, Bill!
Great pics, Tara made me chuckle :o)
excellent photos !
Superb collage. Excellent photos
Beautiful little plane, Bill.
Some nasty lookin stuff under those wings--wow!!
Wow, awesome collage and story!! These heroic pilots also saved many lifes of the ground forces, which I was one, by directing air support in low level flying.
real good image of this plane
Excellent shots and collage.
Stellar pics of a big awesome heavily-armed aircraft that I have previously posted photos of in my gallery, Bill.
Sharp pics of this all time favorite plane, Bill!
FANTASTIC
Nice Skyraider shot, Bill! Quite an assortment of "ouch" he's carrying, there!
Fantastic collage. I agree with Rod on the potential payload on the A-1E. Thanks for the link Bill - a great read and a gutsy call to go in and pick up Myers. Also nice to hear about him being able to be standing there to receive his Medal of Honor. Most receive it posthumously. Dana
astonishing shot and story!
Woah...quite the ensemble of weaponry under those wings! GREAT shots Bill!
Cool collage!!
WOW! I suppose this is what you could call fully loaded...and I have no idea what some of those impressive things do (I'll follow the link after commenting.) Well, I'm sure that the end result of all of those additional options involves pyrotechnics and impressive, thunderous booming noises, since humans are exceptionally good at making things that eventually go Boom, or at least thump. It's one of our dubious gifts...if you wanna blow something up, get a human to do it. This is marvelous and I love the various angles. The light is fantastic. All around, this is a marvelous series of "reference shots" and great stand-alone photography. Also, with the right amount of postwork (and removal from the original context) some of those nicely explosive, wing-mounted thingamajigs would make excellent spacecraft, with just a touch of photoshop of GIMP work, and for me that just adds one more note of interest to an already interesting series of shots. Heck, it even looks like this plane comes equipped with railguns! What's not to like about that?
EXCELLENT SHOTS
