• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I got a couple of photos of this bird parked on the ramp at KSSI. You should see the paint job - periwinkle blue with pink flying flamingos all over it. N number is in the same color as the flamingos. As soon as the wife can email me the photos from her cell phone I will post.

One other unusual thing about it are two slipper tanks under the wings, well outboard. I've seen wingtip tanks on what seems to be a Beech Bonanza down here, but never slung tanks like this.

In the meantime, here's a photo from the web:
