The Heritage Flight Museum painted the AD-4NA Skyraider in US Air Force colours of the 602nd Special Operations Squadron to commemorate Medal of Honor recipient, Lt. Col. William A. Jones III. During a rescue mission, Jone’s Skyraider took several hits. Shrapnel tore open his ejection seat’s rocket, igniting the fuel, which severely burned the pilot. Despite his injuries, Col. Jones managed to fly his damaged aircraft ninety miles back to base and safely land it.
