Cirrus Jet at Renton

Sexy Sue, the Douglas A-26 Invader, had returned to Renton one evening and I had gone around to the ramp side of the field to see her taxi in.  While I was watching the crew shut her down, a few arrivals were coming in over my shoulder.  One of them was a Cirrus Vision.  The lighting was behind it but I was still getting a shot.  Being so close to it on approach was an interesting angle.

Even better, the aircraft was heading my way after landing.  It taxied down to where the Invader was still parked, wiggled around it in the space available and then continued on around the corner and off to its parking spot.  It is a small jet so can taxi around much like any piston light aircraft but it seems funny to see a jet in such a confined spot.  I do think the Vision is a cool looking plane, even if it is a bit like a tadpole!
