Did anyone else notice that the C195 on EAA's August calendar / wallpaper

has a backwards-turning prop?

Are you sure they just didn't print the photo backwards?

Maybe it has an M14P engine?

The pitot tube is on the correct wing, so that rules out a backward photo.
It also has an MT prop which also was not factory.

I saw it at Oshkosh. It has a Russian M-14 engine and an MT propeller.
The owner calls it the Bolshevik Gorilla. It is for sale, but I can't
tell you where to find it.

The C195 has the pitot mast on the left wing, the picture is correct.

The pitot tube is on the correct (airplane left) side for a 195.

Ah, then my guess of the M14P engine would be a safer bet then!

Someone else said it was, so I guess it was a good guess. I guess.
