Cessna O-2 Super Skymaster or C337 is a twin engin push/pull prop plane used during the vietnam war as a photo aircraft, battle field recon, forward air control, as well as search and rescue. This plane was made famous in a movie called "Bat 21" with Gene Hackman and Danny Glover. The story was about an Airforce officer shot down and behind enemy lines. He was guided and tracked by a pilot of an O-2.
