OV-10 Stars & Stripes Structured Twill Cap
The Bronco entered service with the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Navy, with over 360 aircraft produced. Its design featured tandem seating, a high visibility cockpit, twin booms, and a rear cargo bay for light transport or medevac.
The OV-10 saw extensive action during the Vietnam War, where it was praised for its agility, loiter time, and ability to direct airstrikes and provide close air support. It later served in Operation Desert Storm, and even saw limited combat deployment as late as the 2015–2016 Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS, when two OV-10Gs were used by U.S. Special Operations forces.
It was exported to several countries including Colombia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines, where it remained in service into the 21st century.
Why are the stripes vertical?
Great question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony. This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine -with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.
The OV-10 was retired from U.S. military frontline service by the 1990s, but remains a beloved and iconic aircraft among FAC pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike.
