OV-10 Bronco in latest Razbam video?

[yngvef]

I just saw a short fairly weird video on the official Razbam youtube channel. In the background, an OV-10 Bronco (it seems) passes by in a few frames.

 

Is this some kind of teaser, or has Razbam said anything about making an OV-10, either AI or flyable?

Can't wait for this plane to show up in DCS! :pilotfly:

 

They would be ideal for the Afghanistan map:

Video has already been removed.

 

But yes, a Bronco in the background

Damn! I missed it. Anyone get a screenshot?

[Deano87]

I guess it's true what they say about putting stuff on the internet... you can't take it back. :thumbup:

 

 

P.S If Razbam want me to remove this for whatever reason just message me and let me know. No problem.

Sweet, another awesome FAC aircraft!

[yngvef]

Yeah, I see the video is deleted now. But I would really like it if they actually make this as a flyable plane in DCS :)

[Xordus]

I love the Bronco. I'm not sure how useful it would be in DCS, but then again the Yak-52 isn't useful and it's great!

[Deano87]

Would be a perfect Recon plane for Blue-Flag ;)

[Kayos]

Awesome. I'd love that plane.

Ooohhhh we have a mystery on our hands

[zcrazyx]

Omg an OV-10 with rockets would be so awesome to use, maybe off field capability? Also they were operated from carriers at some point.

One more module under development?

The OV-10 Bronco could start and land on an any US aircraft carrier and on LHAs without any special equipment - no catapults, no arresting cable and hook and could have some nasty weapon loadouts.

I never knew it was carrier capable damn

The C-130 is carrier capable too.

In theory any STOL aircraft is carrier capable.

[schroedi]

Well, yes and no. A C-130 landed and started several times from USS Forrestal, but all other aircraft had to be removed from the flight deck because of the enourmes wing span of the Herc, so the Navy decided to use the C-2 Greyhound for aircraft carrier delivery instead of the much bigger C-130.

I just never figured the OV-10 was used by the navy and marines, thought only the air force used it, tho I wouldn't mind trying it with a C-130 given the opportunity :)

[Alicatt]

Even the U-2 was carrier capable, there were a couple of variants specifically made for operations from a carrier, USS Kitty Hawk had the pleasure of the first landing of a U-2G in 1963, later USS Ranger in 1964 and USS America in 1969 with the U-2R.

 

 

I first read about it in Chris Pocock's book Dragon Lady: The history of the U2 spy plane.

AFAIK, the US Navy never considered using the C-130 as a COD aircraft. The test was to check the possibility to use C-130 a la Dolittle's raid on Tokyo, when B-25s took off from Navy carriers, for emergency deployment of troops, etc.

Yep

 

 

CIA U-2

 

And even the C-17
