Return of the Bronco

[dhasdell]

According to the news, a couple of OV-10 Broncos have been brought out of retirement and used in Iraq and Syria. Whatever next? Cavalier Mustangs? Corsairs?

Guess the USAF is running out of UAV's or they have discovered that human eyes in the air are sometimes better than a camera?

Yeah! Bring back some Intruders, Corsair IIs, and Tomcats! :encouragement: NC

As much as I would like to see these or OV-1s return to service with a chance to fly them, it's sadly not going to happen based on $$$.

I seem to remember that prior to the first Gulf war there was a move to get rid of the A-10 until they realised it still had a roll to play. Good to see the Bronco still has a place.
