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! :-)

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.

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

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?
