What is an OV-10 Bronco?
(Updated 04/02/01) The OV-10 Bronco is a twin-engine, two-seat aircraft designed in the late 1960s by North American Aviation, to fulfill a requirement for three branches of the U.S. military (the Air Force, Marines and Navy, usually referred to as the tri-service requirement.) The design is unconventional, with twin booms, a very large greenhouse canopy, small sponsons for armament, and a cargo area in the center fuselage pod. The original purpose of this airplane was to serve a a Forward Air Control aircraft, although it has been used for a large variety of other roles.
