OV-10D Bronco Multi-Role Aircraft SOL'S Hoodie

The OV-10D Bronco, a rugged and versatile aircraft, was a game-changer in military aviation, serving the Navy, Marines, and US Coast Guard with distinction. Manufactured by North American Rockwell, this twin-turboprop light attack and observation aircraft took to the skies with a mission to improve close air support, reconnaissance, and forward air control. The OV-10D variant, an upgrade from earlier models, boasted enhanced night attack capabilities, improved avionics, and greater endurance. Operational from the Vietnam War through the 1990s, the Bronco was beloved for its exceptional low-speed maneuverability, short takeoff and landing capability, and its ability to operate from austere runways. Its roles extended beyond combat to include serving as a fire-fighting aircraft and performing counter-insurgency tasks. The OV-10D Bronco remains a symbol of innovation and versatility, embodying the spirit of multi-role military aircraft with its unique blend of performance and resilience.
