This Bird Dog was built in 1952 to a 1951 USAF order and allocated the serial 51-12134. This was later represented as 0-12134 when the aircraft became more than 10 years old. This aircraft is thought to have gone to the Royal Thai Air Force, and from there to Australia. It was registered in Australia on 15 January 1997 and is currently, appropriately, VH-FAC(5).

Operated by the Aviation Group No. 9, based at Vitacura Santiago Chile. The gliding squadron operates three Cessna O-1 Birdogs. These would have to be among the only in use military Birdogs still in use. Just look at the condition of the paint and airframe, an absolute credit to the maintainers.

Built by Australian Army air corps personnel using parts salvaged from a scrapyard at Vung Tau, Vietnam in 1970. Plan was to use it as a glider tug at the army air corps base at Oakey, Queensland. Painted blue with white cheatline and test flown by a US Army pilot. Shipped back to Australia. Sent to the Army Aviation Museum as the Bird Dog was not at the time approved for civil use in Australia. Flown occasionally and repainted in the same olive drab as the army's Cessna 180s. Now an exhibit at the museum in the blue and white markings applied in Vietnam.

This Bird Dog was built in 1954 for the US Army and allocated the serial 51-12898. After retirement it seems to have been stored unregistered until recent restoration. The Australian registration VH-LKA seems to have been allocated but not taken up. It was actually registered VH-EAZ(4) on 3 April 2009 and has a rather attractive 'Bird Dog' cartoon on the starboard side.

At the Jamestown Fly-In & Air Spectacular 2006. This Bird Dog was brought in Australia in 1989 from Vietnam. The restoration of the aircraft to its current condition started in 1992 and took 9 years, and what a dreat job has been done!
