              Thirty-two OV-10C airframes were supplied to Thailand for use in the COIN role. The Thai OV-10C Bronco  are not former USAF aircraft, instead, all were built as original C-model airframes at North American Rockwell in Columbus, Ohio. The first 16 (158396-158411) were assigned Thai numbers of 1/2513, 2/2513 and 3/2514-16/2514. These were cocooned and sent via carrier (USS Okniawa) to NAF Cam Ranh Bay, RVN in June 1971. The second group of 16 (159134-159149) were delivered in 1973 and assigned Thai numbers 17/16 through 32/16. All were ferried across the Pacific with 15 of the 16 flown by Col. Charles Quilter, USMCR (Ret.), working as a contract pilot for SKYWAYS, Inc. Charlie was a member of the USMC Reserve OV-10 Squadron at El Toro (VMO-4). He had flown F-4's in RVN while on active duty.

                Thailand has retired their entire OV-10C fleet as of early 2004. All airframes have been transferred to the Philippine Air Force.
