When I was first flying, I remember looking in Pooley’s guide to see various places I might want to fly to. In one I recall it saying that piston singles and twins were allowed but no Cessna Skymasters. The noise they made resulted in them being banned from this airport. I can’t remember which it was but that’s not the point. They are a bit of a noisy beast (and this from a guy that loves Avantis). There is one that lives at Paine Field, and I have been lucky enough to catch it relatively recently. You don’t see a ton of them around anymore, so it’s good to get shots of one when the chance presents itself. This one is painted in an interesting green finish which I think looks pretty good.
