Cessna 337 Aircraft 1970s
Pre-1980 piston twins are largely 1960s-70s vintage workhorses — Cessna 310, original Baron 55/58, Piper Apache/Aztec/Twin Comanche. Engines are typically on second or third overhaul; avionics typically replaced; pressurised variants (rare in this era) need pressure-vessel inspection. These are demanding aircraft to own well; budget for both engines on potentially divergent overhaul cycles, mandate-upgrade investment if not already complete, and corrosion-prone-area inspection.

About the Cessna 337
The Cessna 337 Skymaster is Cessna's unique push-pull centerline-thrust twin — a high-wing aircraft with one engine in the nose and one in the tail, on twin booms, so the two engines are on the centerline rather than the wings. This layout removes the asymmetric-thrust handling of a conventional twin if one engine fails. The line includes the original 336, the retractable-gear 337 Skymaster and Super Skymaster, the pressurised P337, and the military O-2. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 337, 336 and Skymaster listings currently on the market.

Buying a Used Cessna 337
Every Cessna 337 faces a mandatory 1,500-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,500-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
- Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
