Color: Heather Deep Teal

The Cessna O-2 Skymaster, a military marvel, soared through the skies from the 1960s, serving as the eyes of the ground forces during the Vietnam War. This twin-engine, prop-driven aircraft was a game-changer for forward air control (FAC) missions, thanks to its unique push-pull configuration which minimized the risk of engine failure and maximized reliability over hostile territories. With its impressive endurance and capability to carry rockets, flares, and other munitions, the O-2 was not just a surveillance aircraft but a formidable force multiplier. Its service wasn't limited to the US Air Force; the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard also benefited from its versatility. Known affectionately as 'Oscar Deuce' among its pilots, this aircraft played a pivotal role in coordinating air strikes and saving countless lives, making it a true unsung hero of its time.
