                                                    OV-10A Bronco: The USAF's Mud fighter
    This mod highlights the OV-10A Bronco in post Vietnam service. The Bronco continued to serve with active duty units until its retirement in 1991. This capable forward air controller never went to the Air Guard or Reserves like its counterparts the O-2A or OA-37B, but served with TAC, USAFE and PACAF until the end of the Cold War

            Included
Sundowners original model, slightly adjusted
revamped skins
new uncovered LAU-32 smoke rocket pods 
updated inis

            NOTE 1
This is Sundowners model. No re-release is authorized without consent from both of us. Sundowner is no longer part of the free use agreement, and while I am, my adding onto his work makes this mod not a part of the free use agreement as well.  
 

            Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 mod folder" to install of your choice. allow overwrites if necessary

            Note 2
While the primary RL Mission of this aircraft was forward air control, that mission set is not present in SF2. So i have left or added mission sets for increased gameplay (CAP not being an original mission!)
While the ability to carry gun pods, bombs, Sidewinders and rockets is retained, this was meant to be an O_bservation aircraft. For gameplay sake several mission sets are present. But this little aircraft honestly wasn't meant for any of them.

            Credits
Sundowner               - original model and ini work
Nightshade/PR         - usual crash test dummy, and finder of ways to load special weapons
ravenclaw_007        - new smoke rockets and uncovered LAU-32/A pods to carry them in
daddyairplanes        - skins, research, tgas, ini work, templates

I hope that you enjoy this mod as much as I enjoyed making it
