From the Air Force Museum website:
TECHNICAL NOTES:
Armament: Rockets, flares, 7.62mm mini-gun pods or other light ordnance hung on four wing pylons
Engines: Two 210-hp Continental 10-360s
Maximum speed: 199 mph
Cruising speed: 144 mph
Range: 1,060 miles
Ceiling: 19,300 ft.
Span: 38 ft.
Length: 29 ft. 2 in.
Height: 9 ft. 5 in.
Weight: 4,900 lbs. loaded
They note the cruising speed as 144 mph, or 125 knots. Interesting they claim the top speed to be 199 mph, or 173 knots. That's a big difference between those speeds.
I'd confirm with the O2A owner what RPM and manifold pressure he uses for cruise? Could be he just operates the airplane in leisurely, fuel efficient mode most of the time.
