VIETNAM AIRCRAFT

VIETNAM AIRCRAFT
 | | 1) OV-10 Bronco | | Specifically designed for a counter-insurgency role, this reconnaissance aircraft was used by the USAF and the Marines. Marine Broncos were green with a white underside. |
 | | 2) OV-10 Bronco 2 | | The Bronco was armed with four machine guns and in addition, as you can see here, it could also carry a small bomb load. |
 | | 3) A-37 Dragonfly | | The Dragonfly was developed as a light ground attack aircraft from a jet trainer, and was used by the USAF and particularly the VNAF. |
 | | 4) A-37 Dragonfly 2 | |
 | | 5) OH-13 Sioux | | This was the standard reconnaissance helicopter from the Korean war until replaced by the OH-6 Cayeuse, which entered service in 1968. |
 | | 6) OH-13 Sioux | |
 | | 7) Red Team | | Teams of two gunships were known as a Red team, although in reality I don't think they ever mixed Cobras and standard Hueys as in this example. |
 | | 8) UH1C-Hog | | Although it appears similar to the earlier A & B models, the UH-1C had an improved rotor and engine which gave it greater carrying capacity and range. |
 | | 9) Huey box | | Each Huey fits between specially made cardboard supports. The rotor axel is a rod which drops into a hole, this can be removed when packing the helicopters to make them fit into a smaller space. |
