Cessna O-2 Skymaster Forward Air Control Aircraft on Ramp with UH-1 Hueys, Vietnam
A Cessna O-2 Skymaster taxis past a row of parked UH-1 Huey helicopters at a forward airbase in Vietnam. Forward Air Controllers flying the O-2 located enemy positions and marked them with smoke rockets, directing fighter-bombers and A-1 Skyraiders onto their targets - a vital and dangerous role that required flying low and slow over hostile terrain.
