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"

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.
