I wasn't aware OV-10's were available for civilian acquisition?



Dunno about civilian acquisition, but getting close...

In about '94 I stopped by Watts-Woodland airport in Northern California to
visit the Beech dealership. They had 3 or 4 OV-10s in the hangar that they
were under contract to modify for the Forest Service. Apparently the
Forest Service was going to use them as spotting planes for fire
suppression. Don't know if it ever came to anything.

I'm kind of partial to the OV-1, the Modified Beech Debs that they used
in Nam, or a C-123.
