History of the OV-10A "Bronco" 
The OV-10A is a turboprop, light attack aircraft developed under a U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps tri-service program to create a versatile counter- insurgency airplane. After these aircraft first took flight in 1967, some of their missions included observation, forward air control, armed reconnaissance, interdiction missions on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and limited ground attack during the Vietnam War. 

The OV-10A "Bronco" at Hill Air Force Base 
The first OV-10 arrived at Hill Air Force Base in 1988 for structural refurbishment, rewiring, and installation of a secure voice radio. Personnel at Hill performed work on 48 OV-10s within five years. After the main workload for OV-10s at Hill ended in 1990, the Mature and Proven Aircraft Division on base continued to manage this airframe. The OV-10A on display was manufactured in 1968 and was assigned to the Da Nang Air Base, South Vietnam, the following year, in 1991, after several base transfers, the aircraft was sent to and modified by the Ogden Air Logistics Center to support a United States State Department drug-interdiction project for the Colombian Air Force. In 2006, the aircraft was put on display here at the Hill Aerospace Museum. 

Interesting Fact 
The aircraft is painted to closely resemble its appearance while serving with the 23rd Tactical Air Support Squadron in Thailand.
