Filmed earlier this afternoon at the Gatlinburg Airport (GKT), this military Douglas A-1 Skyraider airplane did a takeoff, couple of low-passes, and landing. When it landed, for some reason it smoked more than usual so am unsure what happened there.

This aircraft is now based at the aviation museum at the Gatlinburg / Sevierville / Pigeon Forge airport.

  • So What the US have . . .White & Black all of them Mixing bad Chemicals at homes. . .and change to animals give births

  • US have no Fighter Plane.

  • What a beautiful heavy duty beast! I think it probably took the A10 to finally render it obsolete. They want to say that the A10 is obsolete too - well nothing has shifted the A10 yet and I would like to know what will replace it, probably a drone...

  • Nice camera work!

  • @huddscudd My father flew Skyraider in Vietnam as well. It a beautiful plane. I wish I had join in the Air Force and became a pilot like my dad.  But, my mom would not let me.

  • My dad flew one in nam, special operations squadron. Had the TT on the tail.

  • @michaelmiller85 He probably just changed the fuel/air ratio as far as the smoke goes.

  • I see an expensive repair in the works

  • The A-1 could carry more bombs than a B-17!

  • Great video!
