"Buccaneer One Two Victor, Caution Pink Turbulence…"

Beech Buccaneer

It’s always fun to wander around the grounds first thing in the morning at a show like Sun ‘n Fun – you just never know what you’re going to find. For instance, this Lake Buccaneer tied down as the cornerstone of the Seaplane parking area seems to have attracted a following of like-minded flying waterfowl. While there has to be a story behind this pink display, we’ll admit that we have no idea of what that might be – and while we probably could have asked, sometimes it is just fun to make one up…

Meanwhile, we hope that the Buccaneer pilot takes into account the affect of so many wing tip vortices!
