They are a beast of a plane. Built like a tank!! And did I mention that they are loud? I flew them for several years out of Billings. No auto pilot, flight director or yaw damper. She kept you on your A game!!

Brent...!, you must be the man..  I have only about 100 hours in a IIIB, and it had Autopilot, and co-pilot....and it is still a complex beast. With a checklist from the space shuttle. Seriously, I have known a few that flew them single pilot...anything after has to be a breeze.

This is a Metro III according to the registration. Not an abandoned aircraft by a long stretch if you ask me. Likely the most economical aircraft in existance for the job it does.
