Sorry I'm late with a reply to this. My bad as this turned out beautiful!
I can't help thinking what it would have looked like if one of the Skyraiders had been an A-1E model with the multiseat cockpit.

Nice!!!!
Now the Navy dropped a toilet from a Skyraider, this bird should be able to drop an entire porta potty.  :o ;D :-*
