[video] Grumman OV-1D Mohawk

[Sinistar]

The other thread on the Bronco got me to thinking about the Mohawk. When I first met my wife she mentioned she had some right seat time in Mohawks including some ferry flights. My daughter still thinks her flight helmet is so cool (so do I!). I remember sitting in 2 different OV-1's. I can't imagine not getting stuck ejecting! And those prop tips are like..."right next to the canopy!!!". I wish I had been a pilot back then...I so would have begged for a ride

Hunting around YouTube and found a couple interesting videos. At first I thought the low passes were impressive. Then check out the landing at about 8:45...Holy ****!!!!

The warbird I'd buy if I win the lottery.

Really cool planes, thanks for the video.

I didn't think they could fly that low over the city. Holy crap.

Its cool watching a bigger turbo prop like that doing rolls.

Looks kinda like the pattern on my first solo flight.

The line guy in the red shirt really had to book out of there!
