Yes. The OV-1 was designed for single pilot operation, and there were no flight controls for the right seat. The right seat was occupied by an "observer" who operated the aircraft's fairly sophisticated suite of electronics, which included Side Looking Radar (SLR). The aircraft was operated in Vietnam by the U.S. Army.
