There are 28 registered with the FAA. How many of those are airworthy and flown regularly, I do not know...

There is one that comes in and out of Pit almost every night. It is red white and blue. It flies Cargo, but I don't know much about it.

Nobody said that it was a difficult maneuver. Just visually pleasing. Not as much fun as doing smoking hot passes down the runway in a C-172 but fun non-the less.

I looked at it as a nice low but safe pass. Anything lower would have been reckless.

Zane,

Where'd you spot the C-131? FAA database says it's a C-131B and gives the s/n as 53-7819. Owner listed as "Sale Reported". What an odd name... :lol:

Cheers!
