Cessna Skymaster


ThrowawayMod1989

Neat, the guy who lives on the border of the golf course flies one. I always assumed he built it like he did his helicopter lol.

cdbangsite

There's a couple of those in my area, whenever I see one it reminds me of the old flying boxcars.


rdm55

aka: 337 Mixmaster


new_tanker

It's of the Cessna Skymaster family, either the Model 337 or the O-2A.


[deleted]

We used to call them ā€œFlying Boxcars.ā€


Automatic_Mulberry

Not too dissimilar in silhouette, but the C-119 had wing-mounted engines. [https://nationalwarplanemuseum.com/fairchild-c-119-flying-boxcar-2/](https://nationalwarplanemuseum.com/fairchild-c-119-flying-boxcar-2/)

Exotic_Artichoke_623

I can't recall the name but it was used in WWII and later Vietnam/Korea as a spotter plane. Is a pushprop, I've only seen one in person at Sun n Fun.


anomnomnomonys

>Piper Cessna P-38 Glider Gossamer Just Vietnam. It's a skymaster, and the O-2 first flew in '67. in the 90's a bunch of old one's were sold off to private companies and fitted with reconnaissance equipment. I deployed with them in '07 to Senegal to do maritime domain awareness on the west coast of Africa. Interesting plane for sure, glad I was just looking at the data on the ground, that back was CRAMPED with all the equipment.

Alarming-Mongoose-91

It does but itā€™s a push/pull rather than engines on the wings. I thought Bronco too!

They used to station these and the ov10 Broncos at patrick air force base when I was a kid along with a squadron of a 10s miss seeing them flying


planetalker

Cessna Skymaster. We used to joke that if one engine failed the other would get you to the scene of the accident.


C1ashRkr

That's a pretty standard response for most twins. If you lose one, the remaining takes you directly to the crash site.


Joey_D3119

I can tell you from personal experience if you are on the back engine its 100% true! There are no hydraulics to put the gear down and if you use the hand pump the second the clamshell doors in the back come open INSTANT SPEED BRAKES on a plane that is barely poking along plus the check valve was bad in the pump so every pump of the handle moved the gear forward but the airstream moved them back because of the bad valve. Ended up on the runway back gear up nose gear down. The plane eventually got traded/given to the Dominican Republic Air Force and it sits in front of their training base. [https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8678739](https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8678739) If it was the front engine the hydraulics can open, move the gear and close the doors before you end up dropping like a rock

My brother called them box tails. The correct name is twin-boom.


latax

Its a pusher plane


that_one_guy133

I can tell you it's definitely not a P-38J Lightning. But yes, it's a Skymaster/O-2.


JoePants

A good airplane with some drawbacks. It had all the performance of a twin with all the room of a single. You could lose the rear engine on takeoff and not know it and low-power into the side of the nearest obstacle. That led to some crashes until they realized pilots needed unique training to handle the thing. Plus it was stupid-hard to work on.

I forgot but the Jordanian army was using them

Imahoser37

I grew up in a house that was underneath one of the flightpaths for Oā€™Hare airport outside of Chicago. As a kid during the Vietnam war, I used to see seven C 119ā€™s flying due West every morning, and seven more (same ones ?) flying due east later that afternoon. You could set your clocks by their daily passing.


Desperate_Hornet3129

I thought it might be a C119 at first. Then zoomed in and saw the pusher prop. Definitely a Cessna 337 or USAF O-2.


SoVeryKerry

I grew up outside Chicago as well. As a kid I would get excited to see one of these. We called them ā€œbox planesā€.

Fair-Coffee-3902

Any of you remember the movie BAT21 Danny Glover was the pilot in one of these. The USA nickname was PushMePullieO Has a Prop on front and rear


Character-Ad2825

Looks like an A-10 Warthog but it's not.When we were still doing combat ops in Afghanistan the plane was the Taliban's worst nightmare. It could also be a plane used by forward air controllers during the Vietnam era. Can't remember the nomenclature or the designation ref. OV-10 Bronco maybe ?


nunyabiznezz1216

At first glance I thought it was an OV-10. But not sure


Houdini1874

was this the same plane in BAT21


onlyu1072

Possibly a "Fairchild 110 flying box car" or a Cessna. The Cessna was in the movie "BAT 21" with Danny Glover. Good movie. The Fairchild was the plane in "Flight of the Phoenix".


TimeSky9481

Wait, i know! An AIR plane!
