OV-10 Bronco at Dusk

A well-lit OV-10 Bronco aircraft sits on the airstrip during twilight hours. The distinctive twin-boom design and high-visibility orange markings on the wings and fuselage add a dramatic flair to this legendary light attack and observation aircraft, highlighting its purpose in tactical operations.

The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is a 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 three tons of external munitions, internal loads like paratroops or stretchers, and can loiter for three or more hours.
