You mean like making sure if one engine fails on TO that the plane doesn’t invert and kill everyone on board? They didn’t call it the Widowmaker for nothing right:) Give me an A10 all day every day. No way the Bronco takes the ADA beating that an A10 could.

You are mistaking the OV-10 for the OV-1. The OV-10 was a fantastic platform. My instructor at VT-10/86 flew the OV-10 and I was intent on flying that platform, unfortunately it was cancelled just before our class made selections. Went EA-6B instead, but should have chosen the F/A-18D.
