Man, it took some balls to fly into combat in those things.  :o

Oh how I love the Bronco

Oh how I love the Bronco 

Weren't you a fan of the OV-1 Mohawk as well, or am I thinking of someone else?

There're both groovy planes, each in their own unconventional way. You don't see much in the way of modern aircraft with similar eccentric appeal.

Warthog

[Staggerwing]

Good point, but the Warthog isn't so much an eccentric airplane as it is the terror-and-awe-inspiring winged fury of some vengeful Old World God.

Yes, but more the Bronco. I have a few versions of it in FSX and its likely the aircraft I've flown most. I've just added the Steam version of SFX since my old version went down the drain when my HD failed, but I have a lot of stuff saved on an external HD that I need restore.

There is a very nice payware OV-10 package by Aerosoft, but its a bit too pricey for me atm. They do, however, have periodic sales, so I'll be looking out for that.
