They were all private sector aircraft but adapted to deliver ordinance for the military.

The real ones flew in Vietnam.
The Cessna A-37 Dragonfly ( or Super Tweet ) like Attack aircraft.

The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco light attack/Observation plain.


Fairchild AU-23 Peacemaker, Armed gunship, counter-insurgency, utility transport.

DING, DING, DING! We have a winner! Though jeffxjet came up with a good answer as well, they were all indeed used in the Vietnam War at one point or another.

Dang, that was quick, I'll have to try a tougher one next time.

Early in my ANG career I was in the 182nd Tactical Air Support Group (or Wing), IL ANG. We flew the OA-37B IIRC, had a 7.62mm gun in the nose, three maybe five barrels.

Well, you know, I have a slight interest in military aviation Wink

Middle one (twin prop) is a Cessna O-2; perhaps my all time favorite light sport plane.

A friends father flew a Bronco. I build scale models, I asked him for pictures of his fathers plane
so I could get the correct tail numbers. I'll get it done one of these days.

Cessna 336/337
Always thought it was a neat plane.
Have only ever seen one in person, at GLS, in Galveston, TX

The O-2, with the fore and aft props, did it have a single engine, or separate ones for each prop? I imagine that it had a very high thrust to weight ratio and was very maneuverable. I seem to recall seeing a film at one point where Danny Glover was flying this aircraft. I believe the movie was named Bat-21 and also starred Gene Hackman.

IIRC, the 336/337 were twin [counter rotating, I'd hope?] engine
Not sure how you'd drive both props off 1 engine without some really complex [and likely power-robbing] driveshaft setup.

Per Wiki: Twin Continental IO-360 C/D at 210hp each
Surprised to see 199 vMax. Would've thought higher

Not a whole lot of people with "multiengine centerline thrust" ratings. I believe that mojojojo has that rating on a Commercial Pilot certificate.

An old family friend had the civilian version called the Skymaster. They lived in San Diego as he was employed at Miramar and would often fly it back for visits. My first flight in a plane and, with a lot of supervision, allowed me to fly it for a bit. One of my greatest memories. Cool
