Description An aboslutely gorgeous Cessna model 337 Skymaster is seen at Wichita Airport, outside my work window.

The 337 is known for "Centerline Thrust" or CLT.

It is strange that it is possible to get a multi-engine pilot rating for CLT aircraft only.

Since I have a FAA MEL (multi-engine land) rating I could fly this acft, but a pilot with a MEL/ CLT rating could not fly an acft such as a Piper Seneca.

What a beautiful example of this aircraft!

I do not think they are "rare", just not common. Glad you like the pic!

We have one flying out of the airstrip down the street. Always cool to see flying

They make a very distinctive noise while flying!

In my country this airplane is used to be called as the "Sucker-blower". .

It always reminded me of Dr. Doolittle's "pushmepullyu"

Nice shot. Offset thrust can be a bitch.
