On JamesC statement on his trip in the Caribbean that people often come up on the ramp and say how much they love Skymasters, my experiences there have been quite different.
I fly mostly to the Bahamas and for a while flew to most of the islands. The comments I often heard was "What is that?" or "What's the rear engine for?" On the latter question, I developed two answers: "It's a spare" and "I use the front engine when I fly East, the rear one when I fly West". Half the time they bought it. Ernie Martin

Two answers:
You are flying (over water/night/mountains) and hear a CLUNK...
Complete the following sentence: "I wish I was flying in a ___________" --- A Skymaster pilot IFR over the mountains of Vermont in winter had an engine failure. ATC asked, "Are you declaring an emergency?" The pilot replied, "No, I'm declaring an inconvenience" ---- For years I commuted to the office www.potomac-airfield.com from Annapolis, MD Because of the Class B around Washington DC, half my flight time was <1,500 ft at night. Didn't think twice about it. --- I have been going to outer banks for years now. Often low and scenic, often over water. Sometimes high and fast... over water. --- Although I don't OFTEN need the huge payload/room, when I do.... 'Nuff said?
