The Bronco on display in the Southeast Asia War Gallery came to the museum in October 1991 and is painted as it appeared when it served in that theatre. From entry into service in 1969 it was based at a wide range of locations - Bien Hoa AB and Da Nang AB, South Vietnam, Nakhon Phanom R Thai AB, Bergstrom AFB, TX, Osan AB, Republic of Korea, Wheeler AFB, HI, George AFB, CA and lastly Shaw AFB, SC with the 507th TACW

This extremely versatile aircraft flew a variety of missions including observation, helicopter escort, armed reconnaissance, utility/cargo, Medevac and limited ground attack, however, it was as a FAC aircraft for the USAF in SE Asia that it really came into its own. This Bronco came to the National Museum of the USAF in 1991 and wears its original SE Asia markings.
