Back in 2000 there was a Skyraider wreck in one of the museums with a serial ending with ''287''. I could find three Skyraiders with a number ending with ''287 (122287, 132287 and the 135287), the 135287 is an A-1H. Is there anything known about the service of the 135287 in Vietnam?
It was said by Mister Guide that the aircraft was shot down during the border war with China.
Thanks in advance,
Lesley

Apparrently the type was used in a number of wings:
41st (Da Nang)
62nd (Nha Trang)
74th (Binh Thuy)
23rd (Bien Hoa)
Maybe there's more to be found on google.
