Attached is a link to a Cessna video I received via my Cessna support subscription. It is real short

The title of this thread really had my attention. I was intrigued by the "Cessna single engine 337" ( I find that they mean '"Single engine OR 337". )

There was a company in Kalispell, MT that removed the rear engine on the Skymasters, beefed up the front of the fuselage and installed a turbine on the nose. Saw this during our convention there.

They should have kept the rear engine and converted the front to baggage and radome.
