crisisloaner 784 Posted April 26, 2022 The Ayres S-2R2 armed Thrush was purchased by the US Army for use in South East Asia in the light utility role. The aircraft was chosen for its strength, simplicity, and rough and short-field performance. It also helped that its agricultural origins meant the USAF did not perceive it as an encroachment on their aerial territory. The aircraft was given the affectionate nickname of "the Flying Lawnmower" due to its exposed radial engine. It was originally delivered in a green and grey paint scheme with high vis markings but was soon painted in a camouflage scheme using the USAF colours in use for the theatre. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
