Skyraider wing returns to the 353rd SOW, reuniting a legacy of courage and commitment

A U.S. Air Force A-1H Skyraider wing, from the Vietnam War era, sits in front of the 353rd Special Operations Wing after its return to the unit at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, April 15, 2025. This artifact, found decades after the end of the war, flew its last sortie with Lt. Col. Edward Leonard, a decorated pilot who flew 257 combat missions and executed 18 rescues during the Vietnam War. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt. Cullen Drenkhahn)
