Just a fine looking airplane... We had two excellent days last week end enjoying it.

Photos #1 & 2- Turning final and on final at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport.

Photo #3- Taxiing out for the first take off of the day. That's the Denver skyline in the background...

Nice interior shots!

Your first shot is amazing!!!! I saw her sitting all alone at the Madras airport one day in 2014. It was during the first moves to the Madras Location, and if I remember right, before she was renamed to "Madras Maiden". And yes, you did make me miss the mountains along the Front Range, even if I did grow up in Pueblo where that range has petered out!

She was in Bakersfield, California at Meadows Field in April. Wanted to take a ride, but it was beyond my budget.
