| Peter McCook , FL | The Hiller Air Museum in San Carlos Calif has a YO-3A hanging from the rafters. Great display! 10/30/2008 @ 09:01 [ref: 22949] |
| Michael R Pass Deary, ID | I was station at Bihn Thuy, AFB. Myself and three others had the time to get in over 100 mission in the yo-3a. I really enjoyed flying as an observer in the YO-3A.

| Glen Douglass Burlington, WA | YO-3A # 18005 has been parked in the open at Skagit Regional Airport, Burlington, Washington for at least 15 years. Tires are flat, fabric in bad shape. It is a tough old bird but is slowly rotting away in the wet Pacific Northwest climate. Who acquires a treasure like this and proceeds to slowly kill it off? A tragedy. 05/15/2007 @ 18:24 [ref: 16494] |
| Dale Ross Stith , TX | YO-3A serial numbers are 69-18000 through 69-18010.
I will search for 69-14000 and 69-14001 Tail Numbers on the chance they might have been assigned to the QT-2PC Prize Crew Aircraft at one time. YO-3As were not described as Quiet-Stars in the early days. Our Q-Star was a different aircraft (see quietaircraft.org) 08/29/2006 @ 12:38 [ref: 14025] |
| Dave Heikkila , MN | I served in the 56th Trans Co from Dec 69 to Feb 72. I remember our guys being really surprized by that strange bird buzzing quietly around the Nam landscape during the night. You couldn't hear the bird until it was nearly on top of you. Was really an interesting machine to see flittering over you, if you were lucky enough to heard it at all. 01/06/2006 @ 09:04 [ref: 12093] |

| Brian Weekley , AK | I taught aircraft identification for a time in the US Army during the early eighties. I rememeber the YO-3 from the profile books and slide show.In 1997, I saw a white one in a crate at the Pima air museum in Arizona, waiting for restoration. Very intersting aircraft. I believe it was developed from a schweizer glider. 12/20/2004 @ 17:12 [ref: 8920] |
