[edit] Specs as stated for OV-1D are seemingly incorrect.

From C.E.Sasser.
Previously OV-1 Mohawk Crew chief, SP/5, US Army, 131st Aviation Co (SAC) MOS 67H20.

Though it has been a few years, I served these birds for 9 years (1968 to 1977)in all capacities from PM maintenance to Ejection seat Service and Modification.

The one thing that prominently jumps out at me in this article is the engine model and shaft horsepower reported.

To the best of my memory the OV-1D was powered by the Lycoming T53-L-701 Powerplant producing an advertised shaft horsepower of 1400. The mentioned T53-L-7 was used in the shorter winged OV-1A Camera/Gun platform and the OV-1B SLAR configured aircraft as well as most of the OV-1C, I-R birds. In addition if I am not mistaken, a few of the C model aircraft were outfitted with the early T53-L-701 engines and designated "Super-C"

Thank you for allowing this correction.

Sincerely,
C.E. Sasser

I changed the engine for OV-1D according to this. --MarsRover 08:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
