Ressuscitar o OV-10 Bronco é que era! Aquilo sim é uma aeronave COIN, STOL, de grande autonomia, aterra em LHD's, porta-aviões, etc, só vantagens.

isso é que era !!!
Como aeronave COIN põe o ST a um canto, e, deveria ser algo fácil arranjar umas oito unidades nos States há organismos de protecção civil ainda a usar este modelo, porque será ??

The Bronco Is Back! A Fleet Of OV-10s Will Help Train Air Force Forward Air Controllers
"The Las Vegas, Nevada-headquartered contractor first revealed its Bronco plans on Mar. 27, 2020. The company, which also operates out of Pensacola, Florida, said the aircraft would be a mixture of OV-10D+ and OV-10G variants, but did not say how many of each it was buying. Blue Air Training was one of seven different companies to get an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract in October 2019 as part of a massive multi-billion dollar Air Force effort to acquire contractor-operated aircraft to support both air-to-air and air-to-ground training requirements at bases across the United States.

"The twin-engine Broncos will certainly offer greater performance over the single-engine IAR-823s and have greater endurance and stores carrying capabilities than the A-90s and PC-9s. The OV-10D+s and OV-10Gs also have the benefit of having been designed from the start as a light attack aircraft, with two pylons for stores on each of a pair of sponsons attached to the center of the fuselage, as well as a centerline station and two underwing hardpoints.
The aircraft also has provisions for a sensor turret under the nose and Blue Air Training says its fleet will have forward-looking infrared (FLIR) capability and Link16 data links, which are in widespread use across the U.S. military, as well as other military forces around the world. The Bronco also has a unique rear compartment capable of holding equipment, personnel, or even being employed for small airdrops, which the company could take advantage of in the future."
