Under the radio call sign Sandy, its aircraft escorted rescue helicopters into hostile territory during combat search and rescue missions: the Skyraider's endurance, slow-speed handling and heavy ordnance load suited the task far better than jet aircraft could. The squadron operated single-seat A-1H and A-1J models alongside the side-by-side A-1E and A-1G variants. Its commander, Lieutenant Colonel William A. Jones III, received the Medal of Honor for a rescue mission flown in September 1968.
