Could be a GA
If this thing had inline citations it would probably be done. It is very complete. --Colputt 01:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

lowest speed
What’s the lowest speed A-37B Dragonfly is still able to fly? ~paul — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.25.51.109 (talk) 23:03, 13 July 2015 (UTC)


 * This ref says the stall speed is 98 kn when fully loaded, so minimum speed would be just above that speed. I'll add that to the specs. - Ahunt (talk) 23:54, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Vietnam?
It is curious that, under operators of this aircraft, neither the south nor north vietnamese air force are listed.

 * That is strictly due to lack of references. If you have a ref they can be added. - Ahunt (talk) 23:42, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Remarkable non-Loss Rate in Vietnam
Surprising it is not more loved. Pilots just didn't like the name? Seems worthy of a section if anyone has info.74.96.230.76 (talk) 06:01, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * This is somewhat covered in Cessna A-37 Dragonfly. Did you think more needed to be said? - Ahunt (talk) 13:42, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

GT-37B
There is a GT-37B on display at the Grissom Air Museum in Peru, Indiana.

A-37 Vietnam Combat Shot Down
While flying the A-37B in Vietnam as an advisor to the VNAF in the Cau Mau area my aircraft what hit by an small arms round in the main fuel tank outlet. With the boost pump fuel in the feed tank was going down faster than the drop tanks could supply. I had to climb to above 18,000 feet, shut off boost pump and both engines and glide down to about 6,000 feet, restart engines and climb back to above 20,000 feet at least twice before I was able to make an emergency landing on a psp strip in the middle the the umin forest. Thereby saving myself and the aircraft.
