Flere oplysninger:

Den Cessna O-2A Skymaster er et tomotoret propeldrevet fly, der blev brugt af United States Air Force (USAF) under Vietnamkrigen. Det blev designet som en fremadrettet luftkontrol (FAC) og observationsplatform, der var i stand til at lede luftangreb og give rekognosceringsinformation. O-2A Skymaster havde en karakteristisk push-pull-konfiguration med en motor monteret i næsen og en anden bag på skroget. Dette arrangement reducerede træk og forbedret ydeevne samt gav redundans i tilfælde af motorfejl.
Den O-2A Skymaster was equipped with various sensors and radios, including a loudspeaker and a siren for psychological warfare operations. It could also carry rockets, flares, smoke grenades, and other ordnance for marking targets and defending itself. The O-2A Skymaster was a versatile and reliable aircraft that served in various roles throughout the Vietnam War, such as night interdiction, search and rescue, and special operations. It was also exported to several allied countries, such as South Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea. The O-2A Skymaster was retired from the USAF in 2010, after more than four decades of service.
