On display in the Military Aircraft Hall of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum (Norwegian Aviation Museum). Bodø, Northern Norway 25th May 2019 The following information is from the Museum website:- “The Norwegian Armed Forces received 27 Bird Dogs altogether, free of charge, as part of the Military Assistance Program (MAP) between 1960 and 1968. The aircraft were allocated to the various artillery units, which had their headquarters at Setermoen near Bardufoss and Haslemoen in Solør. The Cessna Bird Dog was withdrawn from service in 1992. After being phased out three aircraft were transferred to the Norwegian Defence Museum, while the rest were returned to the American authorities. They were later dismantled and transported to Brazil, where they are involved in the surveillance of drug trafficking. The Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum’s Cessna O-1A has the serial number 50-1712 and it was delivered to the U.S. Army in May 1951. The aircraft had accumulated 3,731 flying hours when it was taken over by the Norwegian Armed Forces in 1968. In 1990 it was stored at Værnes Air Station with an accumulated running time of 6,120 hours. After being transferred to the Norwegian Defence Museum it became a part of the Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum and was flown north to Bodø in 1994.” |
