Here’s a picture of the Bronco that was at OSH. It’s for sale if anybody is interested. It’s marked as a Navy aircraft and it has an unusual nose, different from any other Bronco I’ve seen. It also has some unusual exhaust stacks, an air scoop on the front probably to cool the exhaust for a reduced IR signature

The nose gear is spun around backwards in that OSH photo from being towed by the mains with a spreader bar - we moved it around a bit while it was there. (Still different, but does look funny when it's spun around the wrong way) They crew flying it said it's one of their favorites to fly...don't blame them.

It also has some unusual exhaust stacks, an air scoop on the front probably to cool the exhaust for a reduced IR signature The D models were all converted A models. Long nose that can mount FLIR, exhaust stacks, T76-420/421 1000HP engines (similar to 331-10s), Composite props, different avionics and engine instruments. This one is labeled a D+ due to the Marsh four blade Hartzell conversion from the Ham Standards. This one looks like one of the spray birds that were based at Patrick AFB. Probably has drop tanks that I supplied. Does anyone know the asking price?

It has a hydraulic steering actuator but can go full circle when disconnected. Very awkward to back up with the off center trailing link. I use a standard tow bar slowly and carefully.
That one is from Matt’s shop in Chino. Price is 2.1 million. As far as I know this is the first flying OV10 to come onto the open market.
