Gallery Update: Mitsubishi Solitaire Sighting in Salem!

I'm excited about this one because I finally got to photograph an aircraft type that I've always wanted to see: the Mitsubishi MU-2! I noticed on FlightAware last night that one was coming into Salem so I decided right there and then that I'll head out to see it arrive.

Mitsubishi MU-2B-40 Solitaire (N66FF) taxiing in after arriving from Denver-Centennial. I've always wanted to see one of these! The Solitaire is considered to be the ultimate model of the short-fuselage variant of the MU-2 family, featuring improved engines and increased fuel capacity; 57 Solitaires were built between 1979 and 1985. Because I'm half-Japanese and biased as such, I think the Mitsubishi MU-2 is one of the coolest twin-engine turboprops out there!
