| David's airplane is used by the Forest Service for firespotting. The empty space in the right panel (with black cover) is for the Forest Service Radio. He also says the he loves the airplane, and that it hauls a really good load. When he bought it, it had not flown for 16 years. He says the only major thing he has had to do to it is repaint it. Beautiful bird David! |

Dave also says he has trouble with high oil temperatures. This must be where the persistent "hot rear engine" rumor on 337s comes from. | |
 Note loss of thrust detector lights, unique to 336. The bulbs have been removed in this shot. |
