All Air Drops are .125-.25" thick acrylic trading cards with a removed or cut piece of aircraft encapsulated within the card. 

 

AD316 was cut from AERO 14D Weapons Racks that were removed from USN aircraft 139700. This aircraft served in Vietnam and was deployed aboard Kitty Hawk in 1965/66. Many Air Drops are white and some may have parts of decals or stencils. Some are raw (not painted). Less than 100 Air Drops were cut for this run. 

 

The Skyraider:

 

Designed during World War II to meet U.S. Navy requirements for a carrier-based, long-range dive/torpedo bomber, the Douglas Skyraider was a piston-engine attack aircraft that entered service in the mid-1940s. Nicknamed "Spad" after the French World War I fighter, it became the backbone of the Navy's strike operations during the Korean War, with the first ADs launching from Valley Forge on July 3, 1950. The airframe also saw action in Vietnam in the mid 1960s. Its impressive weapons load and 10-hour flight range far surpassed contemporary jets at the time, allowing it to remain in frontline service well into the early 1980s.

 

There are no returns on Air Drops.
