Older than the oldest airplane I photographed

This one was the oldest airplane I've ever photographed. Until it wasn't. Last Monday, another Swearingen Metroliner made a flying (hah!) visit to NUE, and I was there to capture it.

Swearingen Metroliner, DC-857B

This fine specimen is 30 (thirty!) years old, so it beats the previous machine by one year. I think you'd agree that it looks pretty good for its age.
