A Cessna 337 Super Skymaster Flies Over

Sometimes you see unusual aircraft and this is one of them.
 As I was taking pictures of the next subject, I looked up in the sky because I heard a loud aircraft.  I see this plane.
 It is a Cessna 337 Super Skymaster.  It was developed from the Cessna 336 Skymaster which was first flown in 1961.  In 1965, the Super Skymaster was born from that design.  It was larger and had a more powerful engine.  It is the only twin engine plane that you can fly with a single engine license because it behaves like a single engine plane.
The Air Force would use this design as the O-2 Skymaster.  US production ended in 1982 but it was continued in Reims France.  Almost 3000 of this aircraft were built.
