Seen them during Nam and used them as radio relay for seals and jump platforms

I loved flying this aircraft. It's a flying box. But the weapons capability far exceeded it's goals. Machine guns, check, bobmbs, check, cannon, check, sidewinders, check, air to ground missiles, check, can carry a drop team or injured people, check. Low and slow. I have landed on a carrier with no arresting gear, dirt field, highway. It could do it all and for a long time. Plane was built for stamina.

With the U.S. looking at new light attack aircraft like the super tucano and the air tractor why not continue the use of this aircraft in that role given it's proven qualities?

I was Marine Corps Ordnance on the OV-10 back in the 1980’s.

We had 6 on board the Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 when we left the states headed for the Middle East before Deasert Storm. As we got there, we lonched them the first day of the war. No catapults just rolled about 10 feet and lifted off the deck.

I always enjoyed sitting up on Mt Margarita back in the late 80's at Camp Pendelton and watching the Broncos do their thing.

What a very beautiful aeroplane indeed!!! I love most the sound of it's engines!!!

it's pass at 2:01 has to be one of my favourite sounds of aviation

We used the bronco in Vietnam to drop special forces out of rear fuselage. Occasionally we used them to mark exfil High value target pickup up points for jolly green but more often a AC-110. I'm more effective in the OV-1, a Mohawk. Our fob was named Apache junction. I switched to a Loach because the Huey's we're going down to often.

I’d love to buy one of these someday. Twin engines for safety and a rich rugged history to boot.

Honestly! I did not know OV-10's had spoilers! I always thought... yeah, put one on floats..

That fuselage looks like a AH-1 Cobra in a way. But with wings + twin engine turbo prop.

My dream would be the OV-10D with the old USMC black, gray, green camo.

Has anyone put a different wing on the Bronco? I think you could completely transform the aircraft with a longer thinner wing.

Über dem Truppenübungsplatz auf dem Gelände der Graf-Stauffenberg-Kaserne in Sigmaringen waren die Broncos mehrmals in der Woche zur Zieldarstellung für die Gepard-Flugabwehrpanzer zu sehen. Freilich mit einfacheren Flugmanövern. Das war zwischen 1982 und 1984.

If this is such a great design, why don't we see it being used a lot more often? What are the disadvantages of the tail? I'm not criticizing it, I just don't understand. Looks like great visibility, STOL and agility, so why not more popular?

Available now for MSFS.

This Battle aircraft used to be used by The Airforce of Indonesia to Bom when there was Militery Operation in East Timor from 1976-1990. I was lucky not to die of this fucking aircraft.
