I can't believe any operator would fly or take off an 337/O-2 with one engine.
Saw a guy do exactly that, at MGC, in New York. I was on downwind when he took off--can't remember if it was the front or rear engine that was shut down, and it wasn't because he'd forgotten to start it. He couldn't get it started, so he decided to fly back to his home base and have his mech work on it.
He died (pilot, not mechanic...).
I was thinking of that exact accident.
It was the rear engine. I guess he figured out why the plane was placarded against single-engined take offs . . .
Pretty hard to understand some decisions.
