Default Air flow direction

Just noticed on my 2002 c5 that when the radiator fans kick on, they blow from the engine compartment out the front. It seems they should suck air in from the front cowling to keep the engine cool for when driving the the two would fight against each other. This is my third c5 and never noticed that. Are they reversed and blowing the wrong direction or is this correct. Just wondering, don't have an over heating problem yet.

Okay, another stupid post by Pops!. I was feeling back flow from the engine. These are puller fans and they are rotating correctly. Stupid me, I need to make sure I check things out fully before posting.
