I saw a Skyraider at the Chino Airshow about 10 years ago I guess. They had tons of aircraft there... modern military, classic war birds, the small variant of the original Northrop flying wing... B-24s... a Constellation.... all truly amazing aircraft... The even did a formation flight with the original Thunderbolt with the “Thunderbolt II” (A-10)... but to me, that Skyraider was the sexiest thing on the field that day. What an aircraft.
The skyraider must be pretty close to the limit of what can be done with a single engine prop aircraft.
I bet it is LOUD, too! Probably makes your heart thump.
