flyerdan Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Well, they've put DC-3s on skis and floats, so it's not unprecedented. I just can't figure what advantage a 337 would have over a Beaver, other than twin redundancy. Which, given the rate of #2 failures due to heat issues that wouldn't be that big of a selling point. 3 Quote Link to comment

I’ve heard the Skymaster referred to as the Skybastard more than a few times over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment
