Shortly thereafter, on April 30, 1975 the South Vietnamese surrendered and most of the remaining A-1s were destroyed, thereby ending the combat career of this remarkable aircraft. Thank you.
Lt. Alvarez, also an A-1H pilot, was shot down and captured. These aircraft proved invaluable as fire suppression escorts for the famed "Jolly Green Giant" H-53 helicopters that affected numerous heroic rescues of downed aircrews. Lieutenant Colonel William A. Jones III, the squadron commanding officer, on his 98th combat mission, was the on-scene commander flying SANDY 01, an A-1H, serial number 52-139738.William Atkinson Jones III was born 31 May 1922 at Norfolk, Virginia.
Mr. Tallichet flew the aircraft from Long Beach, California to Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland from April 30 to May 2, 1982. Zum Original: Obwohl die U.S. Navy Douglas bereits 1941 den Auftrag gab, ein Nachfolgemuster für den Sturzkampfbomber SBD Dauntless zu entwickeln, konnte Douglas nicht überzeugen und nur durch den persönlichen Einsatz der Chefkonstrukteurs Heinemann durfte überhaupt bis August 1944 eine Attrappe erstellt werden. The ability of the Skyraider to take off with extremely heavy ordnance loads, coupled with its deadly accuracy in dive bomb delivery and its rugged construction, including armor plate on the AD-4s made it a much admired and effective weapons system. It featured a wide fuselage with side-by-side seating and room for additional crewmembers behind the pilots resulted in an extremely versatile combat aircraft since there was room for system operators for several missions, including electronic countermeasures and early warning.By 1964 the U. S. Marines had long since converted all of their tactical squadrons to the A-4 Skyhawk. Lieutenant Jones served as a fighter pilot, stationed in the Philippine Islands, 1946–1948. The Pacer was a small, 4-place, single-engine light airplane.Immediately after takeoff, Colonel Jones radioed that he was returning to the airport.

It is either on loan or in storage.During the Korean War, Skyraiders served in Navy and Marine squadrons. The AD designation for the Skyraider was changed in 1962, and the AD-6 became the A-1H. He remained in Europe for the next four years.In 1956 Jones transitioned to bombers, training as an aircraft commander in the Boeing B-47E Stratojet.

The Navy continued to operate Skyraiders that, in 1962 as a result of Department of Defense overhaul of aircraft designations, were now designated as A-1s.

During the Vietnam War it was a tradition that no crew member of any "Jolly Green" or the crews of the fire suppression aircraft would ever be allowed to spend their own money in any bar when aircrews of other aircraft, regardless of service, were present.
The NASM A-1 was a part of the operation and was flown during operation Pierce Arrow by Commander Samuel Caterlin, USN, Operations Officer of VA-145.Earlier in 1960, the Vietnamese Air force (VNAF) began operating A-1Es and A-1Hs, supplied by the U. S. Navy. Each of the models was delivered in several modifications. While serving in Navy Attack Squadron 145 (VA-145), aboard the USS Constellation, A-1Hs (AD-6) participated in Operation Pierce Arrow, the retaliatory strikes against North Vietnam for the attack on the USS Turner Joy and USS Maddox in the Tonkin Gulf. By 1950 the AD-4 was in production. On May 2, 1982, A-1H (AD-6) Bu.
