   @KarlDahl Maybe for a while. Not sure of the unit, but the observation special in vietnam ended up being a freakin’ cessna a lot of the time. It’s been a while since I read about them, but to my recollection they ended up changing out from the texans because they’re poor observation craft, low wing and too fast to putter around and identify small targets down low.

   They ended up using a lightly modified Cessna 150 and came away happy with it. They gave it the skylight windows and the panoramic rear window that ended up a part of the civvie models for a time. It too ended up being replaced by the OV_10 for a lot of things, it was much tougher and had a higher payload for camera equip, ordnance, etc.

   A guy around here had one that he’d restored, was a handsome plane, pretty funny to imagine how high on the shit list you’d have to be to get tossed into one of these.
