On JamesC statement on his trip in the Caribbean that people often come up on the ramp and say how much they love Skymasters, my experiences there have been quite different.
I fly mostly to the Bahamas and for a while flew to most of the islands. The comments I often heard was "What is that?" or "What's the rear engine for?"
On the latter question, I developed two answers: "It's a spare" and "I use the front engine when I fly East, the rear one when I fly West". Half the time they bought it.
