Noisy Buzz that is the Super Skymaster

The 777X wasn’t the only thing I got to see on my Sunday at Paine Field.  A buzzing from a distant plane was the announcement of the impending arrival of a Cessna 3337 Super Skymaster.  This is an unusual aircraft with two engines in a push-pull configuration.  It is a noisy thing and is often banned at airports that otherwise allow piston twins.  I understand it is a bit of a pain to maintain too!  I haven’t seen one for ages so was glad to get it on approach.

Even better, it didn’t stay too long so we. Got it taxiing out and taking off too.  Quite a novelty to get to photograph one these days.
