Cessna A-37B Dragonfly
The Cessna A-37B Dragonfly is a development of an aircraft originally designed, in 1952 (the T37 Tweet) as a trainer for the US Air Force. The A-37B in its current configuration is designed as a ground attack aircraft and was developed to meet the COIN (counter insurgency) role.
The US Government supplied 254 Cessna A-37B Dragonflies to the Vietnam Air Force (VNAF) during the Vietnam War. After the fall of South Vietnam in 1975, ninety-five VNAF A-37B aircraft were captured and incorporated into the Vietnamese People's Air Force. The aircraft in the collection were among those captured.
In 1989, Colin Pay (who rebuilt the Museum's Spitfire) and Noel Vinson found several Dragonflies in Vietnam. Subsequently, ten have been purchased from the Government of Vietnam and brought to Australia.
VH-XVA carries constructor’s number is 68-10779.
