I was an Aeronautical engineer on the A-37 when I worked at Cessna a long time ago.
I was an Aviation Explorer from 1973 and joined the Maryland Air National Guard in January 1977, and my unit was still flying these until late 1980 when we got A-10s. We really loved these aircraft, easy maintenance, easy access and a blast to watch fly, it's always been my favorite aircraft.
Always nice to hear the perspective of someone who's had real hands on experience with these aircraft! Thanks.
@@CiaranRegan It is an easy a/c fly and when it is down to internal fuel it really becomes impressive. Think the announcer is misleading when he says the canopy is opening to help slow the plane down. Thanks for the vid!
@@jcheck6 Yeah, there's always a little liberty taken during narration ;)
I was Avionics Technician on the OA-37B at Davis-Monthan AFB from 1982 until the 23TASS was deactivated in the late 1980s
I’d love to fly this in DCS! Cmon ED please! 😊
😄
Uruguay still use them. A great plane
LOL!
Engine noise drowned out his voice!
Is that former Australian VH-AZD ????? Because I owned that plane from to 2004 .......when it went to the States.
The Dragonfly was, and is, a very cool plane.
La Fuerza aérea de Honduras tiene en su inventario estos aviones de combate.
A really good pilot!!
Cool! Great video!
Thanks for watching!
PS. Never used the canopy as a Speed Brake. You open the canopy because it's hot !!!! A/C is less than average !!!
i heard that this plane flew for US airforce in Vietnam AND after capture flew by the north vietnamese against the US forces.
Interesting. Thanks for watching Bruce
Great video. I would like to see an air demonstration of the A-37 without the smoke. The smoke, at least for me is very distracting. Hey, but anyway, again, great video.
Thanks for watching David. I’ll admit to liking the wingtip smoke as it created some interesting vortices ;)
There is a few in Australia and New Zealand
Nice!
I bet there are some A-37 still in Vietnam
the republic of el salvador has them active
I can't hear you!!
Didnt know it was the only flying one in the world
Yeah it's potentially the only original A-37 still flying, but later variants are still in use by some countries. Thanks for watching!
@@CiaranRegan that’s really cool and no problem, I always love checking out your Oregon airshow videos.
@@CiaranRegan There is another one that just came on the airshow circuit flown by a U-2 pilot.
@@jcheck6 Interesting. Will have to pay more attention to which airshows have this in attendance
“In civilian ownership in N America”. There is an A model in Colorado in a museum, one of the original test airplanes from Cessna. And there is a couple of B models being restored as we speak.
The A model is a converted T37- 3 pylons on each wing. The B model is a much modified and purpose built airframe-with 4 pylons per wing.
The US plane have aerial refueling probes. Vietnames planes do not (although all Planers were plumbed for the probe.
cảm ơn bạn đã đưa kí hiệu của chế độ cũ của chúng tôi lên bầu trời 1 lần nữa,chế độ tôi muốn nói là chế độ việt nam cộng hòa
Thank you. This A37 flew with the South Vietnam Air Force, 516th Phi Ho, in Da Nang. Serial number 68-7921.
This is painted exactly as how it came out of Vietnam, including some improper variations. The rudder is missing the yellow and red flag of Vietnam because it was not on the airplane when recovered from Da Nang.
All roundels and flags are Vietnamese correct, different than US. Even the dull paint. The only change from original is the US roundel on the top of left wing, closest to my heart. Other 3 roundels are S Vietnamese.
