These aircraft I am sure flew over my future home....I remember seeing these wonderful birds fly over my house when I was a kid in the '80's. It's an unforgettable sound, and one that I have always enjoyed hearing.
Wow, OV-1 Super C - a great aircraft - lots of turbulence from the lead in tight formation - smoother air from thirty feet away - tremendous airframe and safety - could take off into a vietnamese thunderstorm, a Georgia thunderstorm even -
I remember seeing them flying over my house all through my childhood....I can still remember hearing those turboprops go over. I was pretty sad when they were retired...they were beautiful planes for sure.
What a flash back! I was with the 131st during Tet also .. Was 16N20 but we stopped flying IR missions....repaired avionics & SLAR + worked the RAM hot processor/ photo lab for a few months .. Also with the 225th .. Spec 4 D.Dennis .. All the best to the BEST !
I, too, was a Mohawk crew chief with the 131st at Phu Bai from 67-68. Yep, I was there for the Tet Offensive. Worked for a while in the Maint. Shack keeping the records on all the 'birds'.

My friends call my crazy, but I think the OV-1 is a great looking bird.
