How do you get an Aztec out of a mud bog

For a minute, I thought Holopaw got an airport.

Due West, past the turnpike was one of my training areas for ground ref.

I was always a bit nervous heading east as I suspected some meth lab dudes would be shooting up my students.

Hard to see? I don't think so.

Not when it's against a dis-similar background it's not.
 
With a tow truck of course:D

I was down a Aero Acres SW of Ft. Pierce this morning, and watched this Aztec come in high, fast and out of control. He slammed down and promptly ran off the runway into a flood control ditch missing another plane by about 20 feet.

Amazingly enough it did no damage to the airplane or Passengers (except for his pride) He needs to buy some lottery tickets:rolleyes:

He might be better off to spend his money on some recurrent training. :D
 
Ugly as sin.

I know! My jaw literally dropped the first time I saw it in person. I couldn't believe anyone would do that to a perfectly good airplane. I wondered if it had been sold to a textile manufacturer or something...but no, it's just a run of the mill corporate aircraft for Duncan Aviation.

And the amazing part is that Duncan uses it as a demo of what their paint team can do. Sure, I bet the technical quality of the work is great, but....plaid????? Really????

If their goal is to lose painting customers, then that is a great way to do it. Absolutely repugnant.

Yeah, really. Duncan has a habit of doing "out of the ordinary" paint jobs for all of their corporate aircraft. The plaid Mustang is by far the most eccentric, but they've got a Bonanza and a couple Lears that all have interesting paint schemes:

I figure those of us running 100LL are below 90% of the traffic in the sky.

Here I am 200' below sea level. Heck, Even submarines were above me when this was taken.

Talk about ugly, I flew this one for 10 years like this. Then we painted it white with several red stripes. The owners wife had read that yellow was the most prominent color in the air to prevent midair’s.

I thought my vette looked good.
