The Planes of Fame Air Museum will host the OV-10 “Bronco” for a flying demonstration, thanks to Matt Nightingale of Cal AeroFab, who restored and piloted the aircraft. At 12:15 PM, Richard Malvino of the museum gave a presentation on the OV-10, highlighting its design and Vietnam War missions. Following this, Nightingale started the Bronco’s engines and performed an impressive twenty-minute flight demonstration. After the display, visitors had the opportunity to interact with Nightingale and learn more about the aircraft’s restoration and operation. For more information about the event, click HERE.
