Skyraider?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. The A-1 Skyraider is a single-seat historic warbird and there are no public passenger flights in one. A few privately owned Skyraiders still fly at airshows but are not available for rides. You can, however, fly in several genuine military jets today via MiGFlug.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why is the A-1 Skyraider called Spad and Sandy?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Spad was crews' nod to the rugged WWI SPAD fighter. Sandy was its Vietnam combat search-and-rescue callsign, escorting helicopters in to recover downed airmen. It was also nicknamed the Able Dog from the phonetic alphabet for its AD designation.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How could a propeller plane shoot down a jet?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"US Navy Skyraiders downed MiG-17 jets twice, on 20 June 1965 and 9 October 1966. The Skyraider's tight low-speed turn and heavy 20 mm cannon let it out-turn a jet that tried to dogfight slowly.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much ordnance could the A-1 Skyraider carry?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Up to about 8,000 lb of bombs, rockets and napalm across 15 hardpoints, more than the typical bomb load of a four-engine B-17. In 1953 an AD-4B lifted roughly 14,491 lb of ordnance and fuel.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What was the Skyraider's role in Vietnam?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Close air support and combat search and rescue. US Navy, USAF and South Vietnamese Skyraiders attacked ground targets, and the type is most famous for the Sandy mission escorting rescue helicopters to recover downed airmen.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Did the A-1 Skyraider serve in Korea?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. It flew carrier strikes and close air support throughout the Korean War, and on 1 May 1951 eight Skyraiders from USS Princeton torpedoed the Hwacheon Dam, the last aerial torpedo attack in US Navy history.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is the A-1 Skyraider still flying?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Not in military service.

The result was the <strong>XBT2D-1 \u201cDauntless II,\u201d<\/strong> a big single-seat carrier plane built around one enormous radial engine. It first flew on <strong>18 March 1945<\/strong>, entered US Navy service in 1946 as the AD-1, and would go on to be built in around <strong>3,180<\/strong> examples across a dozen variants \u2014 a piston-engined design that arrived just as the piston era was supposed to end.<\/p>\n<p>It never got the memo. Where fast jets burned fuel and could barely linger, the Skyraider could haul up to <strong>8,000 lb of bombs, rockets and napalm<\/strong> \u2014 more than a four-engine B-17 \u2014 and loiter for hours over the troops who needed it. Air-cooled and heavily built, it soaked up battle damage that would have felled a sleeker machine. Crews nicknamed it the <strong>\u201cAble Dog,\u201d<\/strong> the <strong>\u201cSpad\u201d<\/strong> (after the rugged WWI fighter), and simply the flying dump truck.<\/p>\n<p>In Korea it flew carrier strikes and close air support, and on <strong>1 May 1951<\/strong> a flight of eight Navy Skyraiders from USS Princeton pressed home the last aerial <strong>torpedo attack in US Navy history<\/strong> against the Hwacheon Dam \u2014 the strike that gave squadron VA-195 its enduring name, the \u201cDambusters.\u201d A decade later, in Vietnam, the type found its most famous role: flying US Navy, US Air Force and South Vietnamese Air Force close air support, and above all serving as <strong>\u201cSandy\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 the rescue-escort aircraft that shepherded helicopters in to pull downed airmen out of hostile territory.<\/p>\n<p>And then there were the jets. On two occasions \u2014 20 June 1965 and 9 October 1966 \u2014 US Navy Skyraiders <strong>shot down MiG-17 jet fighters<\/strong> in air combat, propeller against turbine. The Skyraider fought on with France in Algeria, with Britain as a carrier radar-picket, and with a string of air arms long after the US Navy and USAF retired their own around <strong>1972<\/strong>.

A handful of privately owned Skyraiders still fly at airshows, but they are not available for rides.

It was also nicknamed the \u201cAble Dog\u201d from the phonetic alphabet for its AD designation.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How could a propeller plane shoot down a jet?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Twice, US Navy Skyraiders downed MiG-17 jet fighters \u2014 on 20 June 1965 (VA-25, from USS Midway) and 9 October 1966 (VA-176, from USS Intrepid). The trick was the Skyraider\u2019s very tight low-speed turn and heavy 20 mm cannon: a jet that tried to dogfight slow could overshoot and end up in front of the A-1\u2019s guns.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much ordnance could the A-1 Skyraider carry?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Up to about 8,000 lb of bombs, rockets, napalm and gun pods across 15 hardpoints \u2014 more than the typical bomb load of a four-engine B-17. In a 1953 demonstration an AD-4B lifted roughly 14,491 lb of ordnance and fuel, more than its own empty weight.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What was the Skyraider\u2019s role in Vietnam?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Close air support and combat search and rescue. US Navy, US Air Force and South Vietnamese Air Force Skyraiders attacked ground targets, but the type is most famous for the \u201cSandy\u201d mission \u2014 escorting rescue helicopters in to pull downed airmen out of hostile territory, a job its loiter and firepower made ideal.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Did the A-1 Skyraider serve in Korea?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Yes. It flew carrier strikes and close air support throughout the Korean War, and on 1 May 1951 eight Skyraiders from USS Princeton carried out a torpedo attack on the Hwacheon Dam \u2014 the last aerial torpedo attack in US Navy history, which gave squadron VA-195 its \u201cDambusters\u201d name.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is the A-1 Skyraider still flying?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Not in military service \u2014 the US retired it around 1972 and the last foreign operators followed. But a number of privately owned Skyraiders are kept airworthy as warbirds and still fly at airshows around the world.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<div class=\"ad\">\n<div class=\"adin\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">The part of the collection you can touch<\/div>\n<h2>You can\u2019t fly the Skyraider.<br \/>These, you can.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"adp\">Some legends only live in museums \u2014 others are fuelled and waiting.
