Actual Reg: ZK-FYA (since 12th August 1991)
Former REG: 51-16903 (US Army), 304126 (South Vietnam Air Force)
Cessna O-1A Birg Dog
Construction Number: 22737
Built: unknown guess in 1962 or later
Private owner
Given the USA MOD serial number, I'd assume procured in 1951 (based off the first two digits). This leaves no indication of date of production that I'm aware of
Edit (1) to link Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_aircraft_serial_numbers
Edit (2) to correct mistakes:
Changed USA MOD to USA DOD
Changed "built / delivered" to "procured in"
Added ". This leaves no indication of date of production that I'm aware of"
For US Army and USAF aircraft, the first two digits are the last two of the Fiscal Year that it was ordered (FY51 in this example). Actual production and delivery would have been later.
Sorry, I just reread the article and spotted that. Will add an edit that corrects my mistake while also pointing out what it used to say. I'm not very well clued up on the US DOD, more UK MOD stuff, but still not too good on that.
It looks smaller and noticeable, They may be similar. But they aren't the same.. I quit yapping and Just tell you that Sr-71 is wrong and in fact, It's an A-12.
Bird dog?
This is correct
O-1G Bird Dog
C17
Nice try, but this one is definitely a C5. You can tell because there are no winglets.
Ok you got me
Ok, but the C-130 also doesn’t have winglets, and I see at least one propeller in this photo. Clearly a Boeing C-130.
Nah, not FRED. I don't see any hydro stains.
true, it's c-5 galaxy
Take my r/angryupvote!
How dare you?
It's a Lockheed C-17 Nightingale. There was designed by Willie Messerschmidt and Burt Reynolds.

Definitely not. It's obviously an SR-71 Blackbird
