The versatile STOL U-10 could fly as slow as 28mph and found favour in Vietnam War service which included clandestine operations by Air America. Retired to MASDC in 1974, this one is actually 66-14360 which was registered N42022 in 1976 for use by the Screwworm Eradication Program in Texas before joining the USAFM around 1984. It is painted to represent an aircraft operating in SE Asia in 1968 with the 5th Air Commando Sqdn

The Super Courier was a light utility transport with excellent STOL capability that allowed it to operate from a clearing the size of a football field. This along with its ability to fly slowly at speeds of approximately 30 mph made it an excellent aircraft for visual reconnaissance and as a FAC. This U-10D on display at the National Museum of the USAF is painted and marked as an aircraft assigned to the 5th Air Commando Squadron in SE Asia in 1968.

This aircraft has now been repainted to represent a U-10D Courier of the Vietnam era. A quirky aircraft to fly but with an amazing short field capability it was used as a spotter aircraft and for counter-insurgency operations.
