Typically eclectic selection of airplanes just routinely parked on a ramp–and taxiing–in that first photo. So Northern California.

One of the Beech pilots was concerned that the formation was too unstable, and becoming dangerous.
If you are unhappy, the only thing to do is bug out.
Also, there was a stray Yak 52, hanging around, whose position and intentions were uncertain.

Ah yes, that was in the shortest air/air photo shoot I have done.
After about 45 seconds, someone threw their teddies out of the pram!

😮 blimey. I watched her display and land at Dx only a few days ago. Never realised it would be for the last time :(. Personally i love it, very quirky and full of character.

You know, I was having that same discussion about the aesthetics of it with a friend as we watched it taxi in today. I rather like it. The only ones of the series that I really dislike are the ugly Volpar single fin conversion and the turbine conversions. I even like the ‘Pinocchio’ freight conversions. I saw one of these, looking really beaten up, running a night package delivery run in the Midwest a couple of years back – great to see that some Beech 18s are still earning their keep as working aeroplanes in this day and age.
