Whoa!!!! Superb!
What a belting image of a great aircraft, never seen that type before. Some kind of trainer?

I think I recall having seen this aircraft in airshows a couple of times that it is a multi roll one including though crowded it can 'deliver' a small group of parachute troops?

thanks. I'm glad you like it. Here is a bit from the net about Bronco:
"The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is a turboprop light attack and observation aircraft. It was developed in the 1960’s for counter insurgency (COIN) combat. Its primary mission was as a Forward Air Control (FAC) aircraft. It was specifically designed for the Vietnam War and deployed successfully during the Cold war and Gulf War I (Operation Desert Shield)."
 
Thanks for the info.
I would never have put it as being from the 60s though!
 
Very nice photo of an unusual aircraft, remember building an Airfix kit of this plane when I was a nipper in the late 60's
 
Excellent panning (y)
