This is a picture of what looks to be a very nice FC 150 that I took through a chain link fence, taken after the close of the Concours de Elegance at Monterey in August of 2017. I had been invited to join a friend and two of his companions on a trip to Oregon to view the solar eclipse. Our ride was my doctor friend's Cessna 310R. We left the San Francisco Bay Area about 7 in the morning, headed to southern Oregon for the eclipse, then south to Monterey for lunch, where we walked around and I took the photo. We had to wait a while to fuel up as the FBO was very busy filling up private jets, Never have seen so many kerosene burners on one apron in my life. Rich folks attended that auto show.

Wish I could have gotten closer and seen the whole FC.

I wondered if that was a factory color. It was a great day! 2017 was another major fire year for CA (guess they are all that) and fires were raging in the north of the state. On the way to Oregon we cruised along at 11,500' and the air smelled of smoke.
