In welchen Zeitraum muss man den Flieger einordnen?

Hmm, bei meinen Recherchen gefunden:

OV-10 Used to Protect Space Shuttle
Bronco circles Shuttle Endeavor during rollout
(Posted 11/19/2001)
NASA has been using an OV-10 to provide security around the Space Shuttle launch pad. As reported by Steven Siceloff of the Florida Today newspaper in a story on both the Florida Today and Space.Com websites, two F-15 fighters flew air cover to protect the rollout of the Space Shuttle Endeavor on October 31. An OV-10 Bronco was seen in a familiar role - the report stated that "An OV-10 light observation aircraft flew lazy circles around Endeavour during most of the shuttle's six-hour move." Airspace security near the Space Center been extensively tightened since September 11th - the F-15s have been on-station over the shuttle ever since the rollout, an AH-64 Apache gunship guarded the astronauts when they arrived for a practice countdown, and there are restrictions on aviation throughout the entire northern half of Brevard County.
Though NASA does have OV-10s based in Virginia and Ohio, Mr. Siceloff has confirmed for OV-10Bronco.Net that this aircraft was an OV-10D+ owned by the State Department, operating out of their OV-10 maintenance base at nearby Patrick AFB. These aircraft have enhanced infrared gear installed and are primarily tasked with anti-narcotics spraying duties in South America. Patrick AFB, which is located just south of Cocoa Beach and within sight of the Cape, was also the location of the USAF/USMC's joint OV-10 training program in the 1980s and is now the main air support base for USAF and NASA launches from Cape Canaveral. There's a reasonable chance that these OV-10s will become a regular fixture around the Space Center. We'll report any additional information as it becomes available.

Ist noch interessant, gelle ? Die Amis beschützen jetzt ja wirklich alles ganz extrem. Da könnte man sicher noch ein paar gute Fotos machen....

Axel, willst Du das nicht langsam mal bauen?
Es gibt nach 16 Jahren nun ausreichend Material zum Thema.
