Probably one of the rarest planes I have ever caught, it looks straight out of a looney tunes' cartoon. A Swearingen Merlin rolling for departure to Santa Rosa (SERO) even though this didn't happen because this plane entered active runway but after some minutes it taxied back to a wrong apron and finally got back to the starting point. Hours later a tow truck took the plane to the cargo apron and it stayed there until the next day.
