Design and development [ edit ]
The Skymaster rear engine was replaced with a flat-rated 550 hp (410 kW ) Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 and front engine was removed and the cockpit was stretched forward. The aircraft is capable of taking off in less than 450 ft (137 m ) fully loaded. Basler had a deal with the government of Thailand to convert their O-2 Skymaster to SA-550 and to convert civilian Skymaster in Thailand as well. These plans appear to have never happened.[1] [2]
The aircraft is currently owned by Basler Turbo Conversions of Oshkosh, Wisconsin .[3]
