Many, many of the old O-2's, if not in CAP service, are used as engine
test beds by various manufacturers. It's one of the best way to test an
engine you don't totally trust in actual flight service, without it being
the ONLY engine or the only engine on one side of the plane. Also,
you can fly okay if the engine in one end or the other of a Skyblaster
is different than the one at the other end.

They stuff all kinds of engine monitoring instruments in the back of the
plane, sometimes. Pretty fascinating.
