Looks like a Beech Twin Bonanza to me. I don’t know what you mean by “pusher”—this is a regular twin, just missing the engines.

The plane you are thinking of was made by Cessna I think. I can’t remember the model but they stopped building them after the Vietnam war.

If it looked like this, it's an O-2 Cessna Skymaster

U.S. Army Mohawk.....fast but the pilot could get out of the safety envelope quickly.

“pusher prop”? I’m gonna take a SWAG and say it’s an AO. (Aerial Observer) Absolutely essential to grunts slogging through rice paddies. Flown by insane pilots that had a set of “juevos” bigger than basketballs.

The danger markings with the prop line on the fuselage gives away that it was a normal front prop engine.

It doesn’t look like anything I saw in RVN 1969-70, and it doesn’t look like a Mohaek.

1) It is not a “pusher”

2) The 3 piece windscreen is distinctive, as is the nose mounted landing light and the very far forward mounting of the nose landing gear.

3) It probably was NOT a turboprop due to the short distance between the firewall and the “Danger” markings on the fuselage for the propeller arc.

4) It does not appear to be a Beech Baron, Piper Aztec, Cessna 310.

North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco? Remember these from Back When. They had an odd configuration, with twin props and a tall, twin boom tail.

They were used as CAS, would dive in, fire, and roll inverted on the climb out. I asked a pilot, later, why and he told me that as they would go over the top on the way out, it was better to have positive G.
