This picture is an O-2B "Bullshit Bomber" being refueled at
Bao Loc. The O-2B was little more than a civilian Cessna 337 with some camoflage
paint. Dave Cooley, LtCol, USAF (Ret) helped
out by not only supplying this picture, but the following description of the aircraft:
"The only navaids they carried were ADFs, so we stayed out of the clouds.
For psyops they had the speaker on the right rear of the fuselage, and a rack
of amplifiers where the fifth and sixth seats normally would have been. We
usually had about seven large boxes of leaflets on board which were dispensed through a
flared "mail slot" behind the kicker's seat. There were about
100,000 leaflets per box, if I remember correctly." |
