– FSX Cessna U S Army O2

FSX Cessna U S Army O2. This is Mike Stone’s FS2004 Cessna 337 Super Skymaster / O2 modified for FSX as a U.S. Army Cessna O2 painted in a low luster OD Green. The O-2 is a military version of the Cessna Model 337 Super Skymaster. Distinguished by twin tail booms and tandem-mounted engines, it features a tractor-pusher propeller arrangement. Derived from the Cessna Model 336, the Model 337 went into production for the civilian market in 1965. In late 1966, it was selected as a military variant, designated the O-2, to supplement the O-1 Bird Dog forward air controller (FAC) aircraft then operating in Southeast Asia. Having twin engines enabled the O-2 to absorb more ground fire and still return safely, endearing it to its crews. The O-2 first flew in Jan. 1967 and production deliveries began in March. Production ended in June 1970 after 532 O-2s had been built. Modifications and textures by Mark Rooks of RSDG Aircraft.
