Nicknamed the "flying pencil," the Metro was a rather distinctive aircraft that was notorious among passengers for being uncomfortable. This one was converted into a cargo configuration and the packages don't complain. N529AF is seen here arriving at sunset in San Diego after a flight from Imperial (IPL).
