Cessna 337 Skymaster
This is my own personal take on the Cessna C337 Skymaster/Cessna O-2 Skymaster.

From Wikipedia:
The Cessna Skymaster[en.wikipedia.org] is an American twin-engine civil utility aircraft built in a push-pull configuration. Its engines are mounted in the nose and rear of its pod-style fuselage. Twin booms extend aft of the wings to the vertical stabilizers, with the rear engine between them. The horizontal stabilizer is aft of the pusher propeller, mounted between and connecting the two booms. The combined tractor and pusher engines produce centerline thrust and a unique sound.

True to its real-life counterpart, my rendition of the C337 features the same push-pull twin engine configuration. One engine pulls, the other pushes. I have done my best to keep to the likeness of the original aircraft while making it suitable for missions in Stormworks. The craft, whose military variant – the O-2 Skymaster, consisted of being primarily an observation aircraft. From reconnaissance, forward air control, and psychological operations, now suitably fits the role of: reconnaissance and light cargo or personnel transport.
