O-2 Trivia

[AussieO2]

I was recently reading that Cessna introduced 'Skid Rails' to the underside of some O-2's, to minimise the damage when a/c arrived back at base with battle damage to undercarriage.
Here is a link to one such O-2, clearly showing the 'rails' fitted. This O-2 is ex 68-10989, c/n 337-M0265.

My O2 has them, hope I never need to find out how well they work!
