Douglas Skyraider with wings folded at Kemble Airfield, Gloucestershire, England. This Douglas AD-4N Skyraider, BuNo 126922, is an ex-US Marine Corps example that later served with the French Air Force in 1960 and the Gabonaise Air Force in 1976.

The real aircraft AK-402 was A-1H BuNo 134472. It was later transferred to the South Vietnam Air Force. Flown to Thailand in 1975, it is now on display in the Royal Thai Air Force Museum in US Air Force colours. [1]
