A winter visitor to our airport, this Aircam spent the night in our main hangar before it's pilot continued on his cold journey to New Mexico.
There aren't many 3-Seat, Open-Cockpit, Twin-Engine Airplanes that I know of, so the Aircam is a rather unique flying machine in my book.
Specifically designed for Photo and Survey work, it HAS to also be a hoot to fly. It's pilot is parked on a skinny almost-a-fuselage, pretty much out in space ahead of the rest of the plane. Visibility just can't get much better!
This fellow had a heated vest and gloves, so he was probably a lot warmer than the photo might suggest.
