OV-10 Drop Tanks on hard points ?

[aseanaero]

Any OV-10 Bronco Pilots / Engineers on WIX ?

From memory the big belly drop tank is about 300 US gallon , can the smaller capacty 150 and 230 gallon tanks be carried on the hard points other than the centreline hard point (weight and size limits) ?

If you utilized all possible hard points for tanks how much fuel could you carry ?

Neither a pilot or an engineer for the type, but the Flight manual says there are 5 self-sealing non-pressurised fuel tanks in the wings (2 inner, 2 outer and 1 center section) with a total of 246 gallons. For external fuel, either a 150 gallon or 230 gallon tank can be fitted. No mention is made of carrying further fuel tanks on the underwing hardpoints.

Thanks Glyn for that.

For clarity the OV-10 wouldn't have to be able to draw fuel from the hard point tanks (if they can be fitted there) just carry them , anyone familiar enough with the OV-10 to answer this ?
