More info:

The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is a twin-turboprop light attack and observation aircraft that was developed in the 1960s for counter-insurgency (COIN) missions. The OV-10 was designed to operate from short and unimproved runways, and to carry a variety of weapons and sensors for close air support, forward air control, and reconnaissance roles.
The OV-10 first flew in 1965 and entered service with the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps in 1968. It also saw action with several foreign operators, including Colombia, Indonesia, Morocco, the Philippines, Thailand, and Venezuela. The OV-10 was retired from U.S. military service in 1995, but some aircraft remained in use with civilian agencies such as NASA and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The OV-10 was also reactivated by the U.S. Air Force in 2015 for a combat evaluation program in Iraq and Syria against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
