What a cockpit

The 337 is always a thrilling sight (and sound) to behold, in competition with the Beech Baron 58's, at our local air races!

It certainly has a unique sound from the combination of push and pull engines!

..and the winding/unwinding landing gear, is always brings a laugh from the audience!

Paul....a very nice...very complex+expensive aircraft!... ...!

One of my favourite, speedy aircraft, together with the Cessna 182RG (retractable gear), both, sadly, no longer produced!

Hi Paul...


Our first Cessna Twin was a Cessna 336.

It was the Cessna 337 but without the rear engine scoop or retractable gear. The C337 had more powerful engines and was a much nicer aircraft.

We sold the C336 to a company who had a contract to do fire spotting duties in the north of the province.
They never repainted it and I am sure it performed well for them in that capacity.

We purchased a Cessna 337 and we both (the old girl and I) found it a wonderful tourer but not a big eye opener at some of the airshows we attended.
At that time there were a lot of Cessna 336s and 337s on the civilian scene and so not an uncommon site.

Our first civilian twin was the Piper PA-23 Apache, it was flying ten years or more prior to the Cessna 337 coming on the aviation scene.

A fabulous little twin which we kept for several years.
