Skyraider II: US Air Force’s retro Vietnam-era warbird makes a modern comeback
Drawing from the legacy of the A-1 Skyraider, which served from 1946 to the early 1980s, the Skyraider II embodies a rugged versatility.
The U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command has launched a new Vietnam war-styled light combat aircraft.
The aircraft, previously known as the OA-1K, is now officially named the Skyraider II, a name derived from the original Skyraider that served in the 19th century.
The announcement was made recently at the Special Air Warfare Symposium, marking a significant moment for the future of air support technology.
