Looks like they are coming in a little "fat" or heavy... 😉

Lears are nice, but was this REALLY worthy of one of the photo's of the week? I should start turning in my Commander AC90 shots from my iPhone...

Sure is an ugly airplane though. Looks like something the Russians designed with the flat side panels. I used to see one all the time up in Port Angeles, WA (KCLM) and Boeing Field (KBFI). I was asking a pilot that flew them how they synced the props... Start with 2 outboard, then the middle one. Also, 3 engines gets you 1/2 SM standard visibility requirement for takeoff under FAR 135; a nice benefit for cargo operators. Ugly airplane, but a work-horse.
