Cessna O-1 Bird Dog (Civil Registration N10714) Under Restoration, Tennessee Museum of Aviation

A Cessna O-1 Bird Dog, the forward air control aircraft flown extensively over Vietnam, undergoes restoration at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. Now registered N10714 in civilian yellow livery, the type was prized for its slow-flight capability, allowing FAC pilots to mark enemy positions with smoke rockets for strike aircraft. Project: 218916
