This article needs an image. Will see if I can come up with something... Bjelleklang - talk 20:39, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
I remember a story about a Naval Test Pilot in an OV-10 Bronco. He was at low level flight doign passes over an airfield. One engine failed. Quickly and significant alters power setting on other engine. Engines cannot take that end up oil starving and failing. -- Wfoj2 01:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Wow, what a mess! For the most part, this reads like a piece copied whole-hog from a book or magaize. Almost nothing is sourced, which violates WP:ATTR righ off the bat. Far too much time is spent on background usage, and the design description came well before History, whcih makes NO sense. The "Doctrine" sections are extemely odd, again reading like some magazine piece rather than an encyclopedia article. There is plenty of material here to condense into a goo, fairly in-depth article, but for the work one would have to do to cite it all properly. I'm very tempeted to cut EVERYTHING unsourced out execpt for the specs, and just start over with my own sources. - BillCJ 19:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
The Bronco has its problems. An engine failure on takeoff can cause the other engine to spin the whole aircraft around a couple of times
Seems a bit unlikely - after takeoff there isn't altitude enough for that kind of sustained unintentional aerobatics. Extreme unequal torque from a single engine would more likely flip the aircraft on its back, which seems bad enough.
... can carry 7,040 kg (3,200 lb) of cargo, five combat-equipped troops, or two litter patients and a medical attendant. Gross dry weight was 18172 kg (8,260 lb). Normal operating fueled weight, with two crew was 22,308 kg (10,140 lb). Maximum take-off weight was 31,680 kg (14,400 lb).
You got all of your pounds and kilogram weights in the Technical data section mixed up: a kilo is about 2.2 lbs, not the other way round.
.....you have the aircrafts maiden flight occuring 6 years AFTER it's introduction date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwg hitman ( talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I can understand the reasons why these were readded and deleted respectively, but I did want to ask what the purpose of the tags in the refs section were (they seem to be superfluous to me, which is why I deleted them) and whether there's a good way to integrate the diagrams of armament loadouts, which I thought might be of interest/help to people reading this. -- Thatguy96 ( talk) 11:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
The text says that the US Department of State operates some planes with the government of Colombia, but this last one is mis-spelled, it's spelled as ColUmbia can someone correct that mistake plz. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.118.135.111 ( talk • contribs)
If this is true: "The European Museum of Fighter Aircraft in Montelimar, France has a Luftwaffe OV-10B on static display." then why is there no listing for Germany among the aircraft's operators? The Luftwaffe is the German air force. Phaid ( talk) 23:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
While we have a couple of pics of OV-10s on a carrier and an amphibious assualt ship, there is no mention in the text of them being used operationally from such ships. IIRC, the Marines did use them regularly from the amphibs, but I don't have access to my sources. This would be good to have, since the OV-10 was probably the only fixed-wing aircraft (non-tiltrotor) to operate from the amphibs, and did so without catapults or arresting gear. - BillCJ ( talk) 20:47, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Rbeach84 ( talk) 22:36, 28 October 2014 (UTC) Link to "North American" does not link to a Wiki for "North American Aviation" [1] but to a general 'north america' [2] reference instead. This should be corrected. Thanks!
Found some more information regarding OV-10Fs in Indonesian service:
Shipment and Organization
Operational Service
-The OV-10Fs were used in the following operations:
The OV-10s replaced the P-51 Mustang in Indonesian service. They were retired in 2004 after seeing service for 28 years since 1976.
Personnel Training
Fate of the Planes

my edit. If necessary, add {{

There was an article in Soldier of fortune and one of the aircraft publications that detailed the ATf owning a few OV-10's they were registered through a radio shop in Virginia . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whiskerzm ( talk • contribs) 18:54, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
This section seems outdated....has there been any recent developments with this? Is there reason to expect there would be further developments? I'd hate for this section to be called "Possible Modernized Variant" forever...any thoughts? Cheers, Skyraider1 ( talk) 01:14, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
YouTube video of an OV-10B in Luftwaffe livery (at 3:03) at the July 2016 Fairford Air Tattoo seems to indicate that, our article to the contrary, at least one flying example of this aircraft in German service still exists. Does anyone have more information on this aircraft, and whether or not more than one OV-10B exist flyable in the Luftwaffe inventory? loupgarous ( talk) 01:04, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

The entirety of the "Background" section and the large block quote in the "Light Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft" section seem to be in need of removal. The idea that the OV-10 is based on Beckett and Rice's L2 VMA concept is sourced entirely to Rice himself through the Volante Aircraft website, which Rice owns. The actual military specification that North American Aviation and other manufacturers responded to seems to have originated entirely within the military services through the normal functional spec-design-appropriations process. There is no independent evidence linking LARA to Beckett & Rice and it should be removed. The addition of this material seems to have happened in the 2006-2007 timeframe from a variety of IP editors. Unless anyone has timely objections, I intend to remove this as poorly-sourced and failing WP:V. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 03:01, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
The rate of climb under "Specifications" shows 15.33 ft/min. The correct value needs to be found. Es330td ( talk) 19:58, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
The caption reads A NASA OV-10D in 2009 but the plane is camouflaged; ¿Can we get a check to be sure this is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.10.167.226 ( talk) 20:27, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
Multiple sources, including first hand accounts written about in “Da Nang Diaries” note numerous ejections by OV-10 pilots were successful and survived. Ombanks ( talk) 22:46, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
