In Korea, Navy and Marine pilots used it to lethal effect when they provided close air support to soldiers and Marines who could call in a point-blank bombing attack within 300 feet of friendly troops. The Skyraider hugged the ground so closely that one AD pilot killed a North Korean infantryman with his propeller blades. It carried so many kinds of bombs, rockets and other weaponry that sailors boasted it could carry "everything but the kitchen sink." Lt. (j.g.) Carl Austin proved them wrong when he flew into North Korea, found his target and dropped a box-finned, 2,000-pound bomb strapped to a porcelain sink from his carrier's galley.

Did you look under the port wing? even a Skyraider will fly better if you balance the load _________________ Bob Smart ([email protected])
