Summary

Created by slimming the CM-216 down and increasing its wingspan, the 'Rodeo' earned its nickname of "Rodeo Clown" as a result of its surprisingly good handling and occasional unpredictability on the tarmac. It replaced the OV-10 Bronco in 1981, serving until 2001 with the USMC. Seen here in standard deployment scheme and loadout.
