Can anyone identify this plane?

My most favorite plane ever made.
Stubby lil' wings, tons of ords, and four m60's bangin' away in gun pods.


Abit under powered, she is still a beauty.

Made by Rockwell Aviation, the same people that brought you the B-1B Bomber. The OV-10 has been built in several models. I seem to recall one version mounted 2 20mm cannons on the inboard pylons but I might be thinking of anouther plane. NASA has one at the Langley Research Center. I see that one flying every now and then. Pretty plane with the white and blue paint job NASA has on it.

It was a FAC in the later years of the Vietnam War, as well as close air supt for some seal units there.








Edit
I see that the Wikipedia link already tells about its rolls in Vietnam.

Always thought the NOGS with FLIR & 20mm turret were cool. Nice when your FAC can stay up all night with you.

They used to drop Special Forces troops out of the back of that thing! The little bubble area would open, inside lying on top of each other would be the troops, they'd pull straight up and the troops would just fall out! I had a Marine Sargeant Major that was Recon in Vietnam and he was telling me about it. He said he did it 2 times on volunteer missions and never wanted to do it again after that.
