List of United States Air Force squadrons operating the A-37 Dragonfly
This is a list of A-37B Dragonfly squadrons of the United States Air Force. Cessna Aircraft built a total of 577 A-37B's. The aircraft was used for a relatively short period by the USAF; however, many aircraft had long service lives flying for the Air Force Reserves and Air National Guard. Aircraft were manufactured by from 1967–1973 for USAF use; afterwards 1974–1975 for Military Assistance Program (MAP) sales primarily to South Vietnam and Latin American Air Forces. The OA-37B Dragonfly variant was an armed observation aircraft developed during  the Vietnam War. The "Dragonfly" replaced the aging Cessna O-2 Skymaster in the early 1980s. It continued in service with Air National Guard and Reserve units as an observation platform, until the 1980s. Aircraft used by the USAF in South Vietnam were turned over to the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (VNAF) in 1972 after the USAF withdrawal as part of the "Vietnamization" program. On 28 April 1975, in the last days of the war, three VNAF A-37s captured by the North Vietnamese at Phan Rang AB attacked the VNAF-controlled Tan Son Nhut AB; approximately 95 serviceable aircraft wound  up in the hands of the North Vietnamese after the South Vietnamese collapse in 1975. A-37s were used by the Vietnam People's Air Force for many years. When Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1979, former VNAF A-37s flew most of the ground support missions and were a part of the VPAF until finally being grounded in the early 1990s. Some were put on static display in Vietnam, and 10 were auctioned in 1998. Those sold are currently owned by private companies, and individuals in America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
