The OV-10 Bronco is actually used for fire spotting. It flies along in front of the water bomber and designates where the bomber should drop the water or fire retardant. I've talked to pilots who fly the Bronco and they say it's a wonderful platform for spotting. Great visibility and stable. I think it would be a blast to fly. Maybe someday.....
For probably the same reasons they loved it for close air support.
