O-2A
SUPER SKYMASTER
| Two series were produced:
the O-2A and the O-2B. The O-2A was equipped with wing pylons to carry
rockets, flares, and other light ordnance.
In the FAC role, the O-2A
was used for identifying and marking enemy targets with smoke rockets,
coordinating air strikes and reporting target damage. |

The O-2B was a psychological
warfare aircraft equipped with loudspeakers and leaflet dispensers. It
carried no ordnance.
This plane was used in Vietnam
and has a combat record. The movie, "Bat-21," is a good portrayal of how
this plane was used in combat. |
