The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is a turboprop-driven light attack and observation aircraft. It was developed in the 1960s as a special aircraft for Counter insurgency (COIN) combat, and one of its primary missions was as a forward air control (FAC) aircraft. It can carry up to three tons of external munitions, and easily loiter for three or more hours.
Darrell Whitcomb wrote the stupendous book on the rescue of the EB-66 call sign Bat-21, a must for all those who want to understand the role of FAC's and its tools at the time, the Cessna O-2 and the Broncos among other.

That technology is what we need to stop the drug cartels today.

Love the idea behind it; shame it was so massively upsized.
