The OV-10 can be based at FOBs, so close to AO, and can do a bunch of other tactical missions, such as transport, casevac, and some of things we currently get AH-64s to do. In 1995, an OV-10 operated by the Philippines AF cost only about $350 per/hour to run, exclusive of weapons.Originally Posted by Entropy

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
