Talk:Cessna O-2 Skymaster

Stats
Any chance of getting statistics for these in active duty? Ie, how many were used in vietnam? How many were lost?

Rhodesia's RhAF and Central Intelligence Organization also operated the O-2, though they called it the Lynx and it was armed a bit heavier than the O-2 was in Vietnam. 68.202.55.186 05:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Why were the specs removed?
Doesn't look like vandalism. Why were they removed? Rsduhamel 05:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

"B.S. BOMBER"
I would like the fact that this aircraft (O-2B) was nicknamed the "B.S. Bomber" included in this article, It is quoted from the book "Wings for the world II" by William D. Thompson. I have heard that term for this aircraft at Oshkosh, and many other airshows. I added it before but it was done wrong (sorry), so I will let the experts do the Editing this time.. thank you BIGTAZ351W (talk) 04:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)BIGTAZ351W, 7-02-2008


 * THanks for the book information. If you can give me the page number and edition (year published) of the book, that would help a lot. I should be able to find the ISBN number and the rest of the needed info online, but if you have that too, it would be fine. Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 06:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

The ISBN is 0-89288-257-3, the page number is 73,It was published in 1995, second paragraph on the left side, last sentce. "It was affectionately known as the 'Bullshit Bomber.'" I apologize for the tardiness of my response. BIGTAZ351W —Preceding unsigned comment added by BIGTAZ351W (talk • contribs) 15:55, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Remove UNrelated aircraft
It seems to me that the Adam A500 is not really related to the O-2 except that centerline thrust is used. I'm not sure why the AVE Mizar is included as if it were an actual production aircraft, it was a marketing stunt by a car dealer as far as I know. Altaphon (talk) 07:40, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I suspect that is why the A500 is here, just another push-pull design. These can be safely cleaned up. - Ahunt (talk) 10:14, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Army O-2 Skymaster
Article states that 2 Navy airframes were transferred to the Army in 1990. It appears that 68-11149 and 68-11150 were transferred from the USAF to Army service. They appear to have been at Tempelhof in 1978.
