I read this morning that the US military was evaluating OV-10s in the middle east last year as a low cost alternative to expensive jets.

Here locally, CALFIRE uses them for AirBoss work. Pretty Bad A$$ aircraft.


Had a safety brief yesterday where one had the tip of the blade break off during run up. Better then rather than on takeoff.

The Amazing OV-10 Bronco Was Never Allowed To Meet Its Full Potential
The Amazing OV-10 Bronco Was Never Allowed To Meet Its Full Potential

The Bronco's last hurrah was with the USMC during Desert Storm. During that campaign two were lost to enemy fire. Some blamed the aircraft's relatively low speed, but defenders of the Bronco said losses were inevitable, as they were flying lower than other coalition aircraft and were never given the missile warning or countermeasure systems that were widely available at the time.

Model of 1973 'Silent Night' concept for CAS & COIN aircraft with pre-stealth capabilities. Never built, but an interesting design.

"Silent Night" Stealth Fighter by Fantastic Plastic

The "Silent Night" stealth attack fighter was the baseline configuration included in a feasibility study North American Aviation had with the Office of Naval Research between 1971 and 1973. This was during the later stages of the Viet Nam War, when losses over North Viet Nam to Soviet metric radars were disturbing. The Navy wanted options to defeat these radars, then destroy them. The "Silent Night" was the result of this study.

The design, by Aurora Flight Systems, combines fixed-wing technology from planes with rotary-wing technology from helicopters. DARPA awarded Aurora $89.4 million (£62.9 million) to proceed through phases two and three, which will end up in flight tests starting 'in the 2018 timeframe'
