I stumbled across a new website last night where a group has acquired six OV-10s and is in the process of transporting them to Chino for restoration by Matt Nightingale.

Here's the link: https://www.ov10squadron.com/warbirds-on-historic-road-trip/

Great!

There are a couple of ex-Luftwaffe examples on the European air show circuit.
Glad to see some will be in the U.S.

Good to read, I am glad that they will see the sky again :supz:
It is true that we have a number of flying broncos in Europe, it is always verry nice to see them flying.
At this moment OV10 Bronco F-AZKM, OV10 Bronco G-ONAA, G-BZGL the last two are frome the Bronco Demo team.
Their third Bronco was written-off in an aircraft accident at Kemble Airport in 2012 unfortunately.

I get to see a privately owned OV-10 flying occasionally in Carson City NV.

Several months ago the Smithsonian Channel filmed a documentary on this aircraft and they flew it then. Since they were doing their work right in front of our EAA chapter house they took a break and joined us for our weekly BBQ lunch. A member of our chapter also flew it for several years.

Back in the 70s, the late Gordon Baxter if Flying magazine flew a Bronco with Gen. Marion Carl (RIP, Sir....the victim of murder), and wrote a lighthearted story of what it was like to fly from a general aviation pilot's perspective.
