Good thing he was flying an E model. They had plenty of space having been ASW platforms in the Navy. The USAF modified them back to a ground pounder. They had side by side seating and you could fit 8 or 9 people in back if you needed. The A-1 in my pic is either an H or J model single seater.
Still it took some guts to risk that not knowing if your comrade is still alive. Hell it tooks guts just fly the Skyraider aginst the NVA close enough to have the kitchen sink tossed at you.
