The O-2 is the military version of the Cessna
Model 337 Super Skymaster. It was selected by the Air
Force in 1966 to augment the Cessna O-1 Bird Dog forward
air controller aircraft then operating in Southeast Asia.
The O-2 was produced in two variants: the lightly-armed A
model for forward air control duties and the unarmed B model
for psychological warfare operations. By the time production
ended in June 1970, the Air Force had received 532 O-2 aircraft.
This O-2A, S/N 67-21411, is on loan to Octave Chanute Aerospace
Museum from the National Museum of the United States Airforce. |
