The Differences

Tom (Oscardeuce):

I was interested to learn via your post of the extra spar in the 02. I seem to remember reading somewhere (Cessna propaganda?) that there were NO structural changes made to the Skymaster airframe, with the exception of hard points for mounting hings under the wings, when it became the 02. This sounds structural to me. Did Cessna feel a need to beef up the wing or was this to meet a government spec? I understand that there's a guy who does (used to do?) an airshow routine in an older (pre-"porthole" side windows `72-73?) 337. Anyone know if this airplane is actually an 02? Thanks for the input.

Regards,
Jim
