As I understand it, the difference is because the Mohawks are Army aircraft. The USAF complained that the Army shouldn't have armed fixed wing aircraft, so officially the OV-1 can't carry weapons.

Marsh Aviation in Mesa Az has pulled many out of AMARC and has a contract with the Colombian government to rebuild them to full combat status complete with armament. These are to be used as drug interdiction aircraft. Several of the airframes are still outside at Falcon Field while others are nearing completion inside their hangar. About once a month they finish one up and do extensive flight testing in and around the area. Pretty cool to hear those tubines spooling up as they do a high speed pass.

We are still talking about OV-10s, right?

:)

Everything's relative, I suppose.

It's a relative term, Randy.

Not the best quality shots, but this is all I have.

March 2002, Mather Field, Sacramento, CA.

Both photos by yours truly.

These are from the ex-FAV Bronco in Florida, dated 2002, via Norman Earle.

This one flys out of Carson Airport in Nevada and is part of the Cactus Squadron. There is a second one being restored. This picture that I took at the Air Races in Reno last September was down here in Vacaville Ca recently for a photoshoot. It should be in an upcoming issue of EAA Warbirds.

We must limit politicians to two terms:

I got to fly in one of these in 1989 at George AFB CA.
I was a controller in the twr there and won a ride.
Once that pilot found out I was a controller I knew I was in trouble!!!
HE TURNED ME INSIDE OUT!!! That aircraft is pure FUN!!!

I always vowed I'd buy one if I hit the Lottery.
