Bronco Demo Team
Celebrating the OV-10 Bronco at airshows across Europe and the Middle East since 2010
The Team
Bronco Demo Team was formed in 2010 by a group of OV-10 Bronco enthusiasts. We love to maintain a living memory of this significant historic airplane and present the Bronco fully operational in its natural environment – flying through the sky – at airshows worldwide.
Our Mission: Preserve and perpetuate the history of the OV-10 Bronco and people who designed, built, flew and maintained the aircraft from inception to the present. Please do enjoy and explore what Bronco Demo Team is all about on this web space and join us on our social media channels. We love to hear from you; do not hesitate to leave your comments.

North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco
The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is a turboprop light attack and observation aircraft. It was developed in the 1960's for counter insurgency (COIN) combat. Its primary mission was as a Forward Air Control (FAC) aircraft. It was specifically designed for the Vietnam War and deployed successfully during the Cold war and Gulf War I (Operation Desert Shield).
German OV-10B Bronco variant
The OV-10B Bronco variant was produced for Germany as target tug. 18 aircraft were delivered in the early 1970's and were equipped with a steel cable winch inside the fuselage. A clear dome replaced the rear cargo door and a backward facing seat was installed for the winch operator. Following a career spanning 20-years the Bronco was finally replaced by Pilatus PC-9s and IAI Westwinds in 1991. After retirement the German Broncos were sent to various museums and technical schools of the Luftwaffe.
OV-10B "99+26"
One of the pair of Broncos initially acquired in 1999 from the Luftwaffe Technical School in Fassberg, “99+26” arrived at Duxford in England on September 13, 2001 with tail number G-BZGL. After restoration work, which involved a full overhaul of all major systems, this Bronco was ferried to our home base in Wevelgem in November 2015.
OV-10B "99+18"
Another Bronco for Bronco Demo Team was added in 2006, this airplane had been on static display at the International Aviation Museum - Manfred Pflumm since 1991. The main part of the restoration work was completed at the museum’s location in Schwenningen-am-Neckar in the Black Forest, before the aircraft successfully completed its maiden post restoration flight on Saturday May 26, 2012. Two days later it was flown over to our home base in Wevelgem. Now on the civil register as G-ONAA, the tail number was especially dedicated in order to commemorate the aircraft manufacturer, GO North American Aviation.
