Note #      
  1     VS-41 Aircraft At NAS North Island In California Had Standard USMC Green/Grey Scheme  
  With An All White Wing, "NAVY" Lettering, And No Squadron Code On Tail.
  2      155470 Was Painted Gloss Black Over Grey With White Lettering In 1971. The Tail Code
  Was "RA" With "8" And A Shamrock Insignia On Both Sides Of The Nose.
  3      There Is A Photo Of An OV-10A In Green With A "3" Over A Black Pony Insignia -- This
  Aircraft Would Have Been Referred To As "Black Pony 103" And Another Photo Shows
  A Green Bronco With "103" In White On The Nose. Yet Another Photo Shows BuNo
  155496 In All Grey With 103 On The Nose. This Indicates That At Least One Bronco And
  Maybe Another Was Operated In-Country As #103.
  4     VMO-6 Was Based At Quang Tri, South Vietnam Until October 1969 When It Moved To
  Futema, Okinawa.
  5     One Of Several Bronco's Sent To The California Department Of Forestry
  6     Conflicting Information Leads Me To The Conclusion That This Bureau Number Was Never
  In VAL-4 Or In Vietnam. If Anybody Has A Picture Or Document That Clearly Shows
  The BuNo And/Or Side # Please Send It To Me
