OV-10 Bronco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bronco pilots were fond of pulling up next to F-4s, and then turning their propellers slightly in reverse, so the Bronco would drift backwards as the F-4 ran up its engine during preflight checkout. The North Vietnamese nickname for a Bronco was "pig sty," perhaps because it resembled a fenced enclosure. The Air-Force generally disliked the Bronco because it flew low and slow compared to a jet, and when acting as a forward air control, it was vulnerable to anti-aircraft artillery. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/OV-10_Bronco   (2448 words)

New form of OV-10 Bronco There was a nice article on the OV-10 Bronco in the April edition of G2mil. The Bronco doesn't need to dive to keep its guns trained on a helicopter, or even fly towards the helicopter to fire on it. The Super Bronco can also serve as a helicopter killer -because of the turreted weapons many of the helicopter's usual defensive tactics against fixed wing aircraft simply won't work. www.angelfire.com /art/enchanter/bronco.html   (354 words)

Aircraft: North American (Rockwell) OV-10A Bronco Application of the OV-10A Bronco in the light attack role by Light Attack Squadron Four in South Vietnam IV Corps Area has proved the Bronco to be an excellent light attack aircraft in every sense of the term. The Navy Bronco aircraft and the squadron soon developed a sound reputation for providing highly effective and accurate firepower that was previously not available to the river patrol and amphibious forces. An interesting discussion concerning close air support results with Bronco aircraft versus fleet attack jets took place, and it finally ended with CAPT Scott flying a mission with the "Black Ponies." The mission involved a lively air strike that resulted in destruction of a number of structures and bunkers, and the captain was much impressed. aeroweb.brooklyn.cuny.edu /specs/narock/ov-10a.htm   (20219 words)

North American OV-10 Bronco - en The Marines were the impetus behind the development of the OV-10D model, eventually concluding the Bronco's combat career by sending it (both A and D models) into action in operation Desert Storm in January 1991. The OV-10 Bronco, a rugged, maneuverable, twin-turboprop, multimission aircraft, served with the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps (OV-10A), and internationally with the military services of West Germany (OV-10B), Thailand (OV-10C), Venezuela (OV-10E), and Indonesia (OV-10F). (The Air Force kept their remaining Broncos at home.)

OV-10 Bronco The OV-10 Bronco was a multi-purpose, light attack aircraft acquired by the Marine Corp for observation squadrons to conduct visual reconnaissance missions.

Electric Conversion of Rich Urevitch's OV-10 Bronco Design(ERCITS) Imagine, though - you are in a de-militarized bronco: No gun pods, no combat radios, no armor, nothing on the hard points so your flying weight is around 10,000 pounds - and you have 1,500 shp on command. I figured that if the grass was still a problem, the 12 X 10's would develop enough thrust to get it off of the ground, although flight times would suffer. I had never built a twin-boom model, and I only decided to do the Bronco because a flying buddy has done twin-booms and I could always plead for help if my fears of misaligning overcame my desire to see the Bronco fly. ercits.tripod.com /nov02/bro.htm   (3845 words)

Model Airplane News: OV-10 Bronco Enlarging my original plan by about 50 percent made the wingspan what I wanted, but an 80-inch Bronco turns out to be very large because the real airplane has a relatively short span to begin with; its length is nearly the same as its span. The three Broncos completed from this plan all use the Spring Air* units with custom struts, and they continue to perform well. I decided to take a look at a larger version that would, I hoped, fill the same bill as the original, i.e., it would be simple and affordable and designed for sport engines and inexpensive, off-the-shelf retracts. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3819/is_200102/ai_n8950307   (1491 words)

Rockwell OV-10A Bronco The only real COIN (Counter Insurgency) plane to take part in the Southeast Asian war was the Rockwell OV-10A Bronco. It went into action in 1968, barely two years after the first flight of the prototype, but did not have the chance to be used in such numbers as other planes which were admittedly less suited for the difficult and dangerous job of being the advance 'eye' of the DASC (Direct Air Support Center). More like a helicopter than an airplane, the Rockwell Bronco was the ideal example of a tactical reconnaissance plane designed to work in close cooperation with ground forces. www.gruntonline.com /US_Forces/US_Aircraft/us_aircraft12.htm   (280 words)
