    I served in the Korean military in Hwacheon. I saw many OV-10 flying along the Korean Armistice Line performing reconnaissance missions in North Korea around 1980. It was a great aircraft with excellent aerobatic capabilities, and it is still surprising and nice to see it flying. I am grateful to the US Air Force in Korea for their help.

      The back seat pilot is an experienced OV-10 pilot with his own flight equipment. The pilot in front is a newly rated OV-10 pilot but hasn't bought his helmet yet. As for the mask, it has the mic built-in, plus the OV-10 is rated to 30 thousand feet but is not pressurized, so oxygen mask is required above 15 thousand feet.
