  1. A-1H Skyraider, likely over Vietnam. A tail dragger and a big radial in the age of jets and tricycle gear. They actually shot down some Mig 17s in Vietnam.

  4. Ah the good old days of flying, when you could fly with the windows open.

    Also, I understand it to be a Navy Thing, especially when flying from an Air Farce or Army base.

  6. Open canopy would make it easier to get out, if there was a landing or take-off accident.
