What was the Red CAUTION light for?

When the OV-10 shut down is that a MIG15 in front of the hanger?

I worked with the engineer who designed the landing gear for this aircraft. Very special long travel gear

Fascinating to watch a Pro at work. Loved the roll while climbing! An abundance of power.

Read the book "Flying Black Ponies" - I forget author's name. A thrilling account of Navy squadron VAL-4 and their use of the Bronco in South Vietnam.

Where was this filmed?

Nous avons un Bronco en état de vol en France au musée de l'aviation de Montélimar (sud de la France) près de chez moi, je le vois dans tous les airshows !

Awesome!

Hes over N East england South Shields and Roker.😊

Bitchin' footage from the cockpit!!!!!!

Amazing aircraft. I am happy some places are still using them for work. Like Cal-Fire (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection). They still use them as spotter aircraft, and making drop for the air tankers. They will fly in front and deploy smoke. They run several of them throughout the state.

Superb visibility

It's ov-10 bronco

My squadron trained FAC's at Patrick AFB. In 79 I got to fly in one during Competition. It was amazing how maneuverable this plane is.

Pilot: I like riding a flying horse

One of the best flying aircraft and the giant glass cockpit offers visibility like no other combat aircraft, but that constant loud pitched buzzing noise of the engines would drive me crazy after about 20 minutes flying that thing! One USAF pilot said the helmet does nothing to block out the incredibly loud noise of the engines, so pilots have to jam ear plugs into their ears under the helmet to keep their sanity! LOL. This would be a devastating aircraft in the future with SILENT electric powered propulsion. Silent but deadly and the pilots would probably rejoice. High powered electric propulsion engines could also potentially increase the power by a great margin sparking a whole new possibility with this aircraft. Silent electric propulsion would also be a much better platform for what this aircraft is designed for which is forward air controlling or close air support. It would allow the plane to be virtually undetectable by sound alone and difficult for any troops on the ground to even hear while on missions although RADAR and other electronic countermeasures and other devices would almost certainly detect it unless outfitted with electronic jamming equipment which could easily be done. Just make the back seater an electronic warfare officer, weapons operator, communications officer, and co-pilot if needed. It would definitely take this aircraft to the next level although by the time they develop an electric propulsion system that would work, the aircraft would probably be obsolete anyway as drone aircraft would be far more advanced by that point. There are several companies at the moment around the world that are actively developing the future of flight including the big commercial and transport aircraft using electric powered propulsion. It will most certainly be the power of flight in the future. It's probably still 20 to 30 years away for the big commercial airliners in mass use but development is progressing at a very rapid rate and prototypes are expected in the next few years.

What was the alarm at 2:48 ?

I was ordnance on the OV-10 in the Marine Corps. 1982-1986

Props out of sync was driving me nuts had to mute it.

I love this aircraft. Built to save lives.. great video of the visibility the design inabled

It's interesting watching this and thinking about the FACs that stooged about over Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, at relatively low level in these things while the Vietcong and NVA tried to perforate them. It's amazing that any survived.

This plane is cool; It flies excellent and well! 🇧🇷

The ten thumbs down are for ten people who had no contact with or never had the privilege of working on this incredible aircraft and quite frankly it sucks to be you

My God is that thing LOUD.... I wouldn't want to listen to that for hours at a time!...Great plane though!

The guys that flew these in Vietnam....Cahonies the size of coconuts! Ulimate respect for ALL military aviators during these crazy days...

Thanks! Glad it was real no disco crap

I used to maintain that aircraft before to include com-nav system

I was a jet engine mechanic in 68-69 at bien hoa, 19tass. Got to fly in ov-10a several times with a capt. Miller. We had planes all over the south. Had go to location on occasions on troubleshooting. Also sgt. Osterhout was the prop. mech. also went on another plane, when required engine replacement.

Love this aircraft. Nimble and tough. Thank you for no computer voiceover or bad music track.

OV-10 Bronco is an American twin-turboprop light attack and observation aircraft. It was developed in the 1960s as a special aircraft for counter-insurgency (COIN) combat, and one of its primary missions was as a forward air control (FAC) aircraft. It can carry up to 3,200 lb of external munitions, internal loads such as paratroopers or stretchers, and loiter for three or more hours.

great view from the cockpit ,,, wouldnt fancy some on throwing lead at it though.

Truly an impressive machine and with all its options they came up over the years this is what they need to give to the Afghan Air Force for the ground support not because it's outdated and irrelevant it's actually one of the best airplanes for closing air support A 10 warthog was modeled after this plane

Wow,Verry enjoy,i want too fly with you

Sounds like my washing machine.

Yes it's roll rate was quick..fight test aircraft..had 30 ft wing span..test pilots felt roll rate was to quick..and made the platform unstable..so production aircraft had 5 ft added on both wing tips to give it a more stable feel...wonderful plane..great asset to armed forces...indeed it was...!

Wow, you’re really out in the open with this thing...

Needs to learn to "synch" the props. Condition levers usually stay in T/O & land at low altitude maneuvering or aerobatics. Normal flight is used at altitude for cruise.

I wish my C172 had that great cockpit visibility!.

Wonderful flying and thanks for adhering to original music of engines

it rolls quickly ,, great video

OV 10 เคยบินมาสนับสนุนยิงปืนทิ้งระเบิดให้ จำเสียงได้

Well that was a wast of time

In case you're wondering what plane this is, it's the OV-10 Bronco. This is for those who genuinely have no clue ...

Good video. Needs a proper title.

Awesome!!!!

Nice, but during the entire flight, the condition levers were set at the T.O./LAND position. Why? To perform acrobatics or what?

We are still flying this in the Philippine Air Force... Our A and C models were modified to M variant in the early 20s then now we are bringing them back to C. It looks 4 bladed broncos are slower the 3 bladed. The PAF lost 4 OV-10s after upgrading it to M, the four bladedBroncos has too many issues.

Thank you for sharing your flight. :-)

What a View

Significant time over-water and no LSJ.?
