Description
The OV-10A Bronco aircraft proved themselves well during the Vietnam War, being used as light attack aircraft for direct support of troops and as target aircraft, and were distinguished by good manoeuvrability, good survivability and a good combat load.
After the end of the war, the aircraft continued to be used by the Navy for various test and trial missions, e.g. by a unit of the Naval Test Center in Pax River.
Also, for a certain time, these aircraft were part of the training squadron of anti-submarine aircraft VS-41, which operated from North Island Air Force Base in Coronado.
Some OV-10A Bronco aircraft from this squadron were distinguished by the unusual dark colouring of the fuselage.
