Awesome. I have quite a bit of flight time in a Super Musketeer. It was a great, solid airplane.

I spent a lot of time in a Sierra, the retract version of the Musketeer. I agree, solid airplane. I did a lot of relief work doing fires back in the 80's and 90's. That airplane was a nice switch from the helicopters.

I always had a soft spot for the Sierra as well. Got my CFI in one. Comically enough, the Super Musketeer with a fixed gear and a fixed cruise prop was faster than the Sierra with retracts and a 3 blade constant speed prop.

But you have to admit that the Sierra was an attention getter with the mains folding the wrong way. By the way, are you flying here in OKC or is this just your home?
 
The Sierra was much cooler to low time pilot that I was at the time. Getting to swing the gear was pretty fun. I live in OKC. Moved here from South Dakota years ago when I went from flying to a desk job. Kids are getting older now, I should start looking for a part time flying gig.
