De Cessna Libel is a light attack aircraft developed by the American company Cessna in the 1970s. It is based on the Cessna A-37 Super Tweet, a modified version of the T-37 trainer jet. The Dragonfly was designed to perform counter-insurgency, close air support, and forward air control missions in low-intensity conflicts. It has a tandem cockpit for a pilot and an observer, a turboprop engine that provides high maneuverability and fuel efficiency, and a large payload capacity for various weapons and sensors.
The Dragonfly was used by the United States Air Force and several other countries in various conflicts, such as the Vietnam War, the Salvadoran Civil War, and the Colombian conflict. It proved to be a reliable and versatile aircraft that could operate from short and unprepared runways. The Dragonfly was retired from active service in the 1990s, but some of them are still used by private operators and air forces of developing countries.
