Hi guys, I’m primarily on the armor side, but about a week ago a Bronco flew low over me and my wife in west Las Vegas, Summerlin area. I was pretty surprised and even pointed in out to my wife. My question is, who’s flying them? Plane was flying due west

James,
Blue Air Training based in Vegas, that does FAC training. The OV-10 is one of the planes they have for the training.
There's also a 2 companies in CA that restore them. One restores/upgrades for CALFIRE as a wildfire spotter (white & red paint scheme)
The other restores them - www.ov10squadron.com

I started following OV10 Squardon on Facebook, as they constantly post pics of the restoration work. I Have a Kittyhawk OV-10B/D I want to do all detailed up.

If you're interested Draw Decals do a set of CALFIRE decals for a OV-10A in all the major scales.
HERE
They look good, just had a 1/72 set arrive yesterday along with a set for an CALFIRE AH-1
