    I was really surprised to hear that the USAF even still has any OV-10A's, let alone any in flying condition, and combat-ready? I wouldn't have bet anything on that.

    There are a couple that the original manufacturer (or whoever currently owns the design) reworked with modern avionics and upgraded engines. Essentially new airframes to study the feasibility of producing more. That and the Philippines is looking at upgrades and life extensions for their fleet.

    OV-10G+ Combat Dragon II program.
