The Dragonfly is noticeable by the futuristic-looking tanks on the ends of the wings. Designed as a lightweight counterinsurgency (COIN) bomber, the A-37 was used extensively in Vietnam. Beginning in 1963, the Dragonfly was used by the United States military until 1990, and is still used by some Air National Guard units. A very easy plane to fly.
