I got to ride in one of these in 1967 when I was stationed at MCAS Yuma ..... I was serving with VMT103 as a Safety & Survival (6443) mechanic - and since I was qualified with seats/oxygen/etc. I used to Ride-along quite a bit with our pilots in the TA4F ........... one day this OV-1 shows up on the ramp with an Army Sgt. working on it ...... I went over to take a look at the airplane and talk to the plane captain ..... He said they were flying night ops at YPG (Yuma Proving Grounds) testing radar gear ...... I asked if I could possibly catch a ride........Long story short ..... the Pilot said O.K . my C.O. said O.K. and we left about 10 pm ......... flew over to YPG, parked the aircraft (the pilot had briefed me to stay in the A/C), and a bunch of guys in lab coats(with ARMED GUARDS) came out and installed some equipment ....... we took - off flew around for about 3 hours(flipping switches and changing course/altitude & occasionally they'd call and ask where we were! ........ we just drove around & listened to cowboy music stations all night ( before you get excited - the YPG restricted airspace is HUGE and we had plenty of room to get lost and not affect commercial A/C). ....... landed back at YPG - the scientists removed the gear (under guard) and we flew back to YUMA and did a max performance landing (stopped in 150' into a 40mph crosswind - said thank you - went to bed and was back at work by noon ................ a really comfortable airplane ............. ;-p

I served in the 15th MI Battalion out of West Fort Hood Texas. I was a technical inspector and flew right seat. This is a fantastic airplane. It is fully aerobatic, it is rugged and tough. It can be armed, and it's got tons of power. Some of the great moments of my life were spent serving in the U.S. Army with the Mohawk OV-1D.

I served at Fort Hood from 80-82 (1.5 yr)(2nd Amr), and the only thing that flew out of Fort Hood was helicopters. Flights of two A-10 would fly too the Hood to engage the hard targets range about a mile behind my company's motor pool to fire the 30mm GAU-8. The coolest live fire airshow ever. Also. One weekend early in the morning, a flight of about twenty C-130 flew over the Hood.

When I was in flight school at Hunter, they brought in a group of Mohawks from Ft. Rucker because of a storm. They made a production of landing, approaching in formation and rolling out one at a time to come around and land on that 11,000' runway. It was a bit strange to see those birds tied down next to the choppers. I was an OH-6 pilot but finished my tour at Vung Tau with an AC maintenance company. We had the odd Mohawk in for work by the prop and rotor shop or for battle damage. Some of them had the SLAR package hanging off the side. Again they looked odd among the UH-1s and AH-1s, out of place but looking competent and aggressive. Sadly (from my view point) I could not arrange to ride along on a test flight.

Pat-We had them in the 10st in the early 70's at Campbell. Our TOs chose to use that name instead of the Airborne Surveillance Specialist nametag some REMF came up with as their specialty. Most of our TOs were ticked off after they removed the secondary flight controls so they could floor mount more sensor crap there. Our pilots were Nam vets and always tried to teach the TOs, even our new kids, how to land the bird should the pilot get hit, but with the other controls gone, that practice stopped obviously.

Flew 946 in Weisbaden, Germany and so many others, the Ditch Witch was my favorite - she got that name and noise art because they never could get the the props to reverse together in high RPM- had to land and rollout for 150 feet or so before commanding reverse are she would bite your ass- hard break on the runway is not recommended ..

The other two were the 0v-10 Bronco, and in the 60's, the A-1 Skyraider. Briefly, the Cessna 0A-37 was in the mix, and the Cessna Skymaster was also converted to military use as an FAC/tac-recon/SAR. But, the Frippin' AF has kept a stupidly tight lid on airframes used to support the Army. It borders on negligent sedition as to how the AF has kept this part of the arming of our Forces to themselves, while Fighting any use of better aircraft (note that, the A-10, a great plane in a needed role, was first made in the early 70's; That makes my point, in and of itself). The AF Generals making this internal policy need to be hoisted up by their own petards until they 'squeak' a bit. It's not a good thing that we make competent planes, but cannot use them effectively because the 'generals' who plan wars are just SO STUPID!

Well, the Navy had 'close air support' so much better figured out than the USAAF did in WW2. By Korea, it was obvious that the newer USAF was just dumb. They sent in P-80's first, then F/P51-h's for ground attack, while holding back the F/P-47N's which had great range, 8 faster-firing .50 cal guns, and used the huge air-cooled radial engine (vs. the quite vulnerable Allison/Merlin motor and liquid cooling the Mustangs used). That was an obvious 'Oops' that Truman didn't call out, while that same motor was what the Marines had on their Corsairs, but with only 4 20mm cannons, or 6 x.50 cal guns of a slower rate of fire [same as the P-51]. The USAF showed their idiocy right there, only being able to cover their butts by deploying the F-86 Sabre in Mig Alley...

Not so. It is not as well armed or armoured as the Hog. But flying in tandem as a spotter/hound dog, can be a nasty team to any threat.

@@Nighthawke70 There was a quite well armed model the JOV-1 that was used in Vietnam. A J model has the US Army's only Vietnam War, Air to Air combat kill, against a Mig 17. The J model was able to carry everything in the US Military aircraft armament inventory in 1960, short of nuclear weapons. The Engineers (to to be smart asses I am sure) flight tested it with an old kitchen sink and then took a picture with all of it's possible armament and the sink , just so that they could say (and also the caption of the picture) "Everything including the kitchen sink".

No. OV-1 was intended as a tactical recon and observation aircraft. OV-10 was designed by retired Marine WH Beckett and retired Marine pilot Col K.P. Rice who flew close air support in Korea literally one night in a garage. They decided to sit down and come up with the "perfect" close air support aircraft that could support troops and rearm and refuel at the edge of the battlefield without need for runways or much preparation. Their original proposal was literally half the wingspan, and half the weight of the OV-10

Flown exclusively by the US Army and used for aerial surveillance (electrical, as in radar surveillance) and very little visual recon. Flew mostly at night in Viet Nam with side looking airborne radar and other kinds i'm not familiar with.

There were 2 types of Hawks... Ov-1D and Rv-1d.... OV's were equipped with the SLAR(Side looking Airborne Radar) and would take IR images of the ground looking for armor vehicles. In Desert Shield/Storm we worked hand in hand with the F-16 and A-10's and would give them coordinates of where Armor vehicles would be and their movements. RV's were more for ELINT or Signal gathering.

Aerial surveillance and observaiton with capabilities for rocket pods and .50 caliber pods on hard points under the wings. But the Air force fought the armed versions. Photographic, IR, and SLAR side looking airborne radar missions were its main use. They were in Army inventory from 1959-1997. Drones due most of their work now. Sad but safer without personnel on board.

We used to call this the widow maker just because the props were so close to the cockpit would have not liked bailing out of this aircraft.They flew all the time out of west Ft. Hood mostly boarder patrol. They looked pretty cool but I stuck with helicopters..

You don't bail out. The Martin Baker ejection seat shoots your butt straight up. I flew it in 69-70 at the 225th in Phu Hiep, RVN. Only the VC could make a widow maker.
