An unexpected surprise to see my old squadron's - VAL-4 - emblem on a flying OV-10.

I was stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona, with the 23 TASS (Tactical Air Support Squadron). I was in the Air Force, but we had one OV-10 attached to a Marine unit. It was the last one to be relocated to the Yuma, Arizona, detachment unit. I was very fortunate to have seen it up close. I served from 1981 until I retired in 1989. The 23 TASS had OA-37B as FAC aircraft. They were all deactivated, and we got 12 OA-10 as replacements.

1:24 - cuttin' it kinda close there....

Wish i could have gone, do you know who owns it? I dont recall planes of fame having a bronco

Love the Bronco!

Whats that metal tube in front of the cockpit.

Zerosen Moyu

サンダーボルトがこんな低空でマニユーバーが出来るとは驚き‼️

With all the mechanical engineering advanced nowadays I wonder if they can rebuild the motor to run it on exhibition...the fighter is too valuable to risk on flight...but to hear the motor running would be a privilege!!!!

In all it's glory at the PLANES OF FAME IN CHINO CALIFORNIA.....ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE TO SEE IN PERSON......

I was there!

BEAUTIFUL! 👍💯💯💯💯💯!!!!!

Cool!

I was a Flying Instructor at Souris ,Man., flying Ansons a Twin engine SFTS trainer in the RCAF in 1943/44. and we had a Harvard , the Canadian version of the PT6 which we used to keep our hand in on single engine aircraft. A great Aircraft. The following year I transferred to the Royal Navy Fleet Air arm and ended up flying he F4U Corsair. I must say that my experience on the Harvard stood me in good sted

Nice!!! Very good!!!

Nice! I love the sound of the 9 cylinder radial as they manoeuvre. There's one at our local air field and the owners company takes people up for joy flights in it. I've gotta take a spin in it before I die. 😁👍🏼

My dad trained in the T-6 during Korean era at some airfield near Biloxi. I wish I could remember the name of his instructor... The guy flew the "Hump" during WWII and was apparently just the nicest person on the base.

Did you attend Parks College? I graduated in 74.

These are three great planes of WW II . I love seeing them and listening to them.

“He dropped a bomb!”

The AT-6 design was copied by the Japanese and turned eventually into the "ZERO" fighter. It had been lightened and had smaller fuel capacity in order to be agile And something about radial engine airplanes reminds me of Harley Davidson motorcycles...

The airplane that won the Battle of Midway!! They sunk 4 Japanese carriers, Kaga, Akagi, Soryu and Hiryu.....

It was arguably the best Naval Aviation fighter aircraft in the world at the time of it's deployment by the IJN through to 1943 and the US Navy employing Corsairs and Hellcats but even in those engagements pilots and tactics were likely the deciding factor over the aircraft. Later in the war the A6M still really only had the disadvantages of lower speed and durability to take damage compared to its US counterparts, but losing the speed advantage really meant they no longer controlled the engagement. The faster aircraft always has the option to fight or withdraw while the slower aircraft is always stuck in the fight until the enemy breaks off.

Thanks! Such a gorgeous aircraft. I’ve always loved the B17’s look, but these are just a beautiful design.

Nothing says Americana like a Stearman 😍

p51...pfff, sh*t.....f6f LOVE

This bird is so underrated

Looks like a good candidate for combat drones for Ukraine.

SBD Slow But Deadly

I need one of these for when the neighbors crank up their tejano music.

Not bolt-strapped down to ground?

So simple, yet brilliant!......

A real piece of American history! I love the sound of the 9 cylinder radials, each cylinder displacing over 200 cubic inches.

Nice Beech 50 Twin Bonanza in the back ground 😊

It is Removed the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 radial engine?

What does this mean (CU) On the Plane?

A pure beauty

Must be nice. Even if it was only a series of left turns. Any type of flying in a P-40 would be a dream come true. Awesome aircraft. Thanks for posting.

このエンジンは オリジナルの｢栄２１型｣ですか？ 始動する際に セルモーター式ですね？

The 'Pretty Polly's pilot is Pat Nightingale.

I hope Boeing is paying attention. Maybe a limited run of say 20 or so.

If the Navy DoD brought back that paint scheme they’d get a lot more funding ….

Roger Ball.

Exquisite. 1930s AF. 😁

A work of art.

There one in the Air Force Museum located in Dayton, Ohio, and its just as, or maybe even more beautiful then this one.

Aviation historians consider the P-26 to be a halfway point between WWI and WWII fighter planes.

the us was so unprepared and behind the curve when ww2 broke out in the late 30’s. the japanese were ripping around in the A6m zero and the germans had the ME-109’s, among other modern aircraft. while our boys were training in aircraft just barely more modern than the p26.

What a BEAUTIFUL restoration!!!!!!! And it flys!!!!!!! I've seen a b/w photo of a formation of these flying over the Corona area in 1934.
