Photo Comment

Taken on with VS-41 at NAS North Island in late 1968 and deployed with VAL-4 to Vietnam in early next year. Unit decommissioned in the Philippines in 1972 and by 1980 the Bronco had been assigned to VMO-4 (Marine Observation Squadron 4) at Atlanta. By 1991, transferred to VMO-1 at MCAS New River, NC. Stored at MCAS Cherry Point, NC in 1995, it was later displayed at MCAS Quantico, VA and at Charlotte before joining the Pensacola museum collection where it was restored into its VAL-4 colours
