Beech B24R Sierra  N6992R                   (c/n  MC-328)

                                          

                                               The ultimate conclusion of the Musketeer line was the Sierra.  As each iteration of a popular
                                               aircraft is evolved, it seems mandatory to add more windows.   Compare this to the Musketeer
                                               and Sundowner.  This version, redesignated the Model 24, had a retractable undercarriage.
                                               The example above was seen at Franklin County Airport, North Carolina in March of 2003.
