EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015: Warbirds - Vietnam War Era Attack Aircraft


Fred Harl and Carmelo Turdo
http://www.airassociatesmo.com/tae/The Aero Experience will wrap up our year-round coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015, sponsored by Air Associates, with a series covering the many warbird types seen during our ten days on the grounds.  We will present the warbirds in their eras of service, roughly parallel to the major conflicts, including the Cold War, in which they served.  Most of the aircraft were produced during the covered time period and served in some military capacity in combat or non-combat roles, and others were representative of the type but are replicas or civilian equivalents.    
 
This feature will include attack aircraft from the Vietnam War Era, including Cessna A-37 (actually a representative T-37C), Douglas Skyraider and Grumman OV-1 Mohawk.  The Mohawk is covered with 1636 names of POW/MIAs from the Vietnam War.
