Autoevolution talks about the “Holy Terror” Restoration Project

Autoevolution talks about the “Holy Terror” Restoration Project

by Michael Jarvis | Mar 16, 2023 | News

Benny Kirk of Autoevolution covers the story behind our restoration project, nicknamed “Holy Terror”.

Kirk compares the project to standard car repairs. “The team started a grueling restoration process that makes the average classic car resto-mod look easy and even simple,” stated Kirk. 

This Twin-Engine Attack aircraft is a formidable war machine that was built to devour tanks during combat. This aircraft is now available for sale to civilians who are interested in owning a piece of aviation history.

This fully aerobatic aircraft was built with two turboprop engines and was designed to operate in extreme conditions. Its powerful engines allow it to fly at high speeds, making it an ideal choice for missions that required speed and agility. In addition, it was equipped with an arsenal of weapons, including bombs and missiles, making it a highly effective weapon during times of war.

While the airplane was designed for military use, it is now available for sale to civilians. The aircraft has been refurbished and restored to its former glory, making it an impressive sight to behold. The plane is fully operational and has been meticulously maintained, ensuring that it is in excellent condition.

Owning an OV-10 is a dream come true for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This airplane is a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the US military, and it has played a significant role in the country’s military history.

If you are interested in owning this unique piece of history, you can contact the seller for more information. With its impressive performance and historical significance, the Ov-10 is a one-of-a-kind aircraft that is sure to turn heads and make a statement wherever it goes.

OV-10 Re-Flight Project

OV-10 Re-Flight Project

by Michael Jarvis | Oct 3, 2022 | 493, News

From the boneyards back to the sky, Mike Manclark of Newport Beach, CA is regenerating an entire squadron of OV-10 Broncos back to the sky. An interest in one aircraft led to a fleet of eight with three having already completed restoration. Two are currently serving as live fire platforms with operational M-60 machine guns with a multiple bomb rack for strafe and target spotting roles. The third is currently for sale with advanced avionics suite, upgraded engines and propellers. From the jungles of Vietnam, the Sands of Desert Storm, Cocaine fields of Columbia, the DMZ of Korea, Manclark’s airframes are rare warbirds with documented provenance and wear the sheet metal patches from actual combat damage. Perhaps even more rare these fifty year old light attack platforms are still live fire capable.
