Why not go ahead and build these puppies again?

And give them to the Army!

Good read here, Alfa6. A bit of history that may find its way into the future.

When you are talking weapons release, the EYEBALL and human judgment are PARAMOUNT. NO UAV can match them with a remote operator and cameras. Sorry.

[alfa6]

The Bronco still lives, The California Dept of Forestry has several OV-10s that they use for lead ships in fighting forest fires.

Note the Super STUF in the background!

Okay that gives ya 4 aircraft for future Canteen topics:-)

The eyeball is useless at night and in all conditions which impair visual recognition.

Most times, so is technology. But the pilot’s judgment is not impaired... And if you’re talking about weapons, such judgment is crucial. Especially in CAS.

Here is the future:
