Found this picture of my dad sitting right seat in What I think is one of the old company planes. I don’t recognize this one from my childhood. Can anyone identify this air frame? It looks like the yoke has metro written on it, but I know the company never had a Merlin.

From the windshield framing and what little that I can see of the control yoke, I would guess that this might be one of the Swearingen Merlin series? :scratch:

If you zoom in, it looks like it says "Metro" on the yoke.

Agree, the windshield frames look like a Merlin/Metro. And you can see the twin rows of engine gauges.

Agree, it appears to be a flying fuel leak.

So this was not owned by the company.
