The South Vietnamese Air Force first Skyraider Squadron (in this markings) was under personal command of General Nguyen Cao Ky ( later he became the youngest VP of South Vietnam). They only fly special operation missions to support South Vietnamese commandos.

Hope you guys like the pis

Very nice, one of my favorite RC planes is a Skyraider. Amazing how many different nicknames it had. One that made me laugh was what the South Vietmanese called the 2 seater "Ugly Waterbuffalo" .  Dale

In the Navy, we referred to them as "Spads"
