That is one of my babies. I worked OV-10s at DaNang and Pleiku 20 TASS back in 1970-71 Amazing CAS airplane.

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.

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.

Thanks for sharing. We flew OV-10s out of England AFB, LA (USA) back in the mid 1970s. Great aircraft.

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

This looks like an A-10 and a P-38 had kids its awesome.

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.

Such a cool and impressive plane. Thanks for sharing Rainer, awesome video! Thumbs up!

Danke schön für das tolle Video von unserer BroncoFlugZeug!

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

Amazing tight turns without loosing airspeed

The beauty of this plane ❤️

Beautiful little airplane!

Immer wieder beeindruckend dieses einzigartige Design der Bronco. Es lebe die Abwechslung 🙂

Great show! This is the prop-driven Warthog.

Just yesterday, I saw one fly over my house headed for a landing at Ontario Airport in Ontario CA. What a beautiful sound and sight.

Super cool bird❤😊

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

The sound of my youth, at the baltic sea in summer, near "Todendorf" in Germany

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

jadi inget masa kecil

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

Very good video

No way to describe this tool as anything less than the Swiss army Knife of aircraft! Everything about it says utility! Even the unique tail was made to back up a truck and load easily.

You can still see them in the Philippine Air Force as a Close Air Supporter Aircraft

Before the A10 Warthog there was the OV-10 Bronco!

I love ov10 bronco

As always, prodigious vid. Very educational. Certainly learned a lot. Hoping that you will continue to share. Mogen Sie viele Jahre Flugerfahrung haben. Prost!! I know pathetic attempt at Deutsch. Difficult language to learn. I have been trying for quite awhile now to learn. Even interacting with Deutsch co-workers. 😟

Second favorite plane after the P-38

Deve ser uma delícia voar em um OV 10 Bronco _ além de ser um belíssimo turbo hélice ! ❤❤ 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

They should still give a contract for this plane

❤...🛫🛫🌏...Amazing good looking lifestyle and best efforts for operations in the sky and experience war in Iraq, Kuwait and Vietnam, Timor Leste 🛩🌏❤

Was this air show at the old AFB in Germany?

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.

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

❤❤❤❤❤

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?

I know it seems like a dream but you would think this plane should have never been retired in fact I think they might still have a role as crop dusters I know so cal fire used them as spotting planes I know that they where used recently to fight issues and the Philippine military may still use them I just don't understand why things get retired when it works and keeps working

Available now for MSFS.

👍

No wresting hook either how I landed it 1972 USA America CVN 66

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.

In Germany we named this Aircraft "Zieldarstellung"

OV -10 bronco FAA Argentina pack 30 aparatos .!!!

if a10 and twin mustang had a baby

Proyecto ñandu..

I 've never seen one of these before . Wonderfully Utilitarian little plane . Would be GREAT as a Crop-duster or a Light Search and Rescue platform .

CALFIRE has a few for firefighting iirc.

That plane saved us from the isis rebels

Our ATF aquired these in the 90s. Not sure why they would need them. I am experienced with the mechanics of these. No reason for ATF to have them.

Ñandú 3

...i can fly that OV10 smoother

คือการบินระดับต่ำมันต้องพัฒนาเทคโนโลยียังไม่มีการทดสอบการยิงจรวดจากเครื่องบินความเร็วต่ำกว่าเสียงในเพดานบินต่ำ

Pluckiest little monster to ever take flight.

superbe machine , mais une présentation aussi chiante que la mort.....
