This picture and the next were also taken by Ashby Shoop: "Sorry these are so dark but I think they were taken near sunset. This is a VMO-1 bird on a det at MCAS Yuma in late 1974. We (in VMO-6) were flying so early and late that we were logging night time in the morning and later the evening of the same day. We were there to support an AV-8 (Harrier) squadron (the first one, I think) out of MCAS Beaufort, SC but we also flew support for the local VMAT A-4 squadron and a detachment from an A-7 RAG at NAS Lemoore. I flew nearly 80 hours in the month of December 1974 while out at Yuma."

Says Ashby: "This bird's set up for a night mission with flares, two 7 shot pods, sponson guns and the drop tank. I don't know why, but VMO-1 didn't like to drop the drop tanks for tactical missions. VMO-6 often did take the tanks off for ordnance work."

Here's the backseater's view out the left front side in an OV-10A. The pilot is Brian McMullen. What you cannot see are the other OV-10s - 16 of them!!! They were proving to the CG, 2d MAW that they had 17 OV-10s in C-1 shape. It could have been just 16 total. Anyway, whether it was 16 or 17, Brian and Mark were LAST!! What a task to join on the other A/C - Mark says that it was an unforgettable Saturday morning! Photo by Mark Brophy.

This is the front and rear cockpit of an OV-10A, seen from the right side. Note the seat belt wrapped around the control stick in the front seat - a common way to lock the controls from unwanted movement. Also notice the air vents in the corners of the upper canopy panels. The "Remove Before Flight" ribbons remind the crew to remove the safing pins to arm the ejection seats before takeoff. These photos were taken by Brad Hoskin at the Pittsburgh, PA airshow in 1989.

These shots of the nose of an OV-10D shows the pitot tube and FLIR turret (covered up, as is normal while the aircraft is on the ground in order to protect the coatings on the turret's windows.) Notice also that this aircraft does not have any Radar Warning Receiver antennae (the black circles visible on many other aircraft on either side of the nose.) Picture taken by Brad Hoskin at the Pittsburgh airshow, 1989.
