The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is a turboprop light attack and observation aircraft. It was developed in the 1960’s for counter insurgency (COIN) combat. Its primary mission was as a Forward Air Control (FAC) aircraft. It was specifically designed for the Vietnam War and deployed successfully during the Cold war and Gulf War I (Operation Desert Shield).
The OV-10B Bronco variant was produced for Germany as a target tug. 18 aircraft were delivered in the early 1970's and were equipped with a steel cable winch inside the fuselage. A clear dome replaced the rear cargo door and a backward facing seat was installed for the winch operator.
Following a career spanning 20-years the Bronco was finally replaced by Pilatus PC-9s and IAI Westwinds in 1991. After retirement the German Broncos were sent to various museums and technical schools of the Luftwaffe.

Bronco forever!!!

[@ccalidor]

Beautiful and structurally unique design aircraft. But in Vietnam, I wouldn't want to fly that. They were brave pilots and men.

[@bobjutton5810]

The upgraded a couple of them a couple years ago and flew them in combat against ISIS to test new weapons and tactics

[@bobdyer422]

Such a cool little plane. Looks like a ton of fun to fly. I just can't find anything I wouldn't like about it. This would make a nice weekend getaway machine to go anywhere.

[@HighFlight]

The VW Camper Van of the aviation world maybe!

[@bobdyer422]

@@HighFlight The flying Samba? I don't think the pilot would want the front glass open though.

[@Maxjettvlive2025]

Where did the bronco fly back to after it’s display

[@francois1048]

Why does it have the luftwaffe sign on it?

[@HighFlight]

It's an ex Luftwaffe aircraft. The Germans used them for target towing.

[@francois1048]

I thought broncos we're produced in early 1960s?

[@HighFlight]

@@francois1048 They were. The Luftwaffe is the German Air Force, the aerial branch of the Bundeswehr, the German Armed Forces.
