That is really going to clash with the orange parachute.

Always makes me wonder when you see folks in Florida or in the Caribbean with tricorn hats, eye patches and rum drinks going around shouting "Arrggghhh matey". While far from perfect, I try to aspire to a level slightly higher behavior standard than that exhibited by pirates.

I thought Pirates were the Rocks Stars of their day?

When an owner has the *&^%$ to paint their plane in a very unusual scheme, some people love it and some people don't. Believe me, I understand... . Attachment: 113 final.jpg

Oh, my bad .... never mind.
On a separate note, saw a PC-24 in the wild on Sat at KSLK. Super nice. Was kind of surprised to find one at Saranac Lake. Was even more surprised that it was on the ramp with all buttoned up with covers and sunshades. Had clearly been ther a few days. If I had $10mm plus to drop on a plane like that, would be in the hangar and not on the ramp.
