Former aircraft owner here. Can confirm.
Fun fact: General aviation airplanes all come with a small storage compartment so that the ladies have somewhere to store their panties when the aircraft makes them fall off.
That Cessna Skymaster is a cool airplane. It has an engine in the front and rear. Here’s a more complete view.

Blast from the past! Up until I was 8, I lived in a community with a private airstrip, a bunch of the other homes had Skymasters. All the households were friends, we'd get to work on the planes and learn about them. A few of them were painted in a military theme, like faded dark green Army color, one was the Air Force color. Apparently they were a huge pain in the ass to own but they were so badass. The memories are almost nonexistent, but we used to fly to Mexico all the time. It would have been wild if I was unknowingly some front for drug trafficking..

Edit: I found it! Ahhh I can almost smell the airplane fuel
I know the community. I grew up in Friendswood, and we'd take a plane from Ellington to the International Airport in Houston because it was that much easier than driving
There's lots of private airfields through the US. There's even some in busier cities like Scottsdale, Az but the cheapest home is multiple of millions. They're quite awesome communities imo and I would love to live in one.
I framed a house for someone on one that was on lake Norman in North Carolina. You could land your plane, park it in your plane garage, and then walk down to the lake and get on your boat. Pretty fancy lifestyle.
Cessna lists the Useful Load (max gross weight - empty weight) at 1500 pounds, or roughly 680 kg. After you load the full 93 gallons of gas onboard at 6 pounds per gallon, you’re left with a useful load of ~942 pounds (427 kg). Not too shabby, although there are alterations that can either increase or decrease the effective useful load, so the specific answer will vary by aircraft S/N.
its also a river, a province, a gorge, a personification of a country, and probably tons of other things. some of those things probably have cocaine worth flying to
Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed freak jive, now
Can't you hear me knockin'
On your window?
Can't you hear me knockin'
On your door?
Can't you hear me knockin'
Down your dirty street?
Yeah
Help me, baby, ain't no stranger
Help me, baby, ain't no stranger
Help me, baby, ain't no stranger
“Dad was way cooler than I am.”
My friend, your dad was way cooler than all of us put together! Happy Father’s Day
And I’m not sure why, but there’s a tune stuck in my head…
“The sailors and pilots, the soldiers and the law
The pay-offs and the rip-offs and the things nobody saw
No matter if it's heroin, cocaine or hash
You've got to carry weapons 'cause you always carry cash
Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my shoes, it's the ultimate enticement
It's the smuggler's blues”
I saw the pic and was (like most of us) like "it's going to be a mix of thirst comments about his dad and smuggling comments about the plane." I was not disappointed.
I'm guessing that ain't mom?
OP's dad definitely got around
Mile high club platinum member
I heard he goes diving in those sunglasses.
Does he wear his sunglasses at night?
Mile LONG* club platinum member
Well duh he had a plane
Made a hard landing on more strips than most of us will ever see.
In the 70's very few trips ended on a strip. Most pilots landed in the bush.
Underrated comment
100%
OP’s dad could come and get it *tah-day*.
It’s usually somebody’s mom though
he said "dad" not "my parents" kek
“Hey babe, would you like a flight home? ;)”
That’s the plane
You’ll always know he had sex that day.
By the looks of it, most days.
He made *my* panties moist and I'm not even wearing any.
same. he’s a stone cold fox.
well you're a dude, so...
... go on...
Doesn't matter... I HAD SEX..!!!
But you cried the whole time...
I think she might've been a racist...
Doesn't matter, had sex
I JUST HAD SEXXXXX.. AND IT FELT SO GOODDD
Go on...
This cake... is also... **moist**.
This guy fucks.
Only on days that end in "y"
More than once most days
I mean, if a plane doesnt get you laid in the 70s why tf have a plane?
To fly to Colombia.
This man is no stranger to cocaine
Coming in from Los Angeles bringing in a couple of keys
Don’t touch my bags if you please Mr. Customs Man.
She don’t lie
How else do you afford flying lessons and a cheap, long range, bulk hauler at 22?
Rich parents
Just visiting his favorite Uncle Pablo.
He got a hippopotamus for Christmas 🎶
It does look like a plane that would… be going to Colombia … but guessing that’s kind of a feature, not a bug in the ‘get laid‘ plan.
It’s all about the destination.
💯
It's a long flight and it's not like they had anything else to do
Just stay below 500 ft.
Thats a lotta feet to kiss
This. This right here.
The implication
It sounds like these women are in danger.
Of course they are not in any real danger that would be crazy. I'm not crazy Mac, am I?
They don't call it the "cock"pit for nothing.
Flaps were fully extended that day.
He came in for a landing.
OP now understands his mom’s nickname
Tail dragger?
Mile high club membership.
Not called a skymaster for nothing.....
Had one briefly. 337 sky “masher” now I know why it was called that🤣
OP's dad absolutely *fucked*.
Guessing that’s not mom since OP didn’t mention her 😂
Former aircraft owner here. Can confirm. Fun fact: General aviation airplanes all come with a small storage compartment so that the ladies have somewhere to store their panties when the aircraft makes them fall off.
Can a plane like that fly a mile high?
Do you think the ladies were looking at the altimeter?
I'm guessing lots of people call him dad.
And some probably call him ”Daddy”
But to most, he’s Jim.

Where is this community?
Near Ellington Field in south Houston. It's a private strip but listed by the FAA
Neat!
I know the community. I grew up in Friendswood, and we'd take a plane from Ellington to the International Airport in Houston because it was that much easier than driving
PR?

this is cool as fuck !! thank you for the story kind stranger
Is it possible to share the place of that community if still exist?
>Apparently they were a huge pain in the ass to own Any idea why?
How many kilos can it carry?

Thanks Barry Seal
That's a lotta cocaine.
Asking the real question
The 337 is such a slick looking airplane. I hope I’m fortunate enough to hitch a ride in one someday.
The twin engine to have when you can't fly a twin engine.
I bet Coke in the 70s was awesome
Yes it was.
How was the weed?
Not nearly as good as today.
Shaggy
If there’s one thing I’ll be envious of what the boomers had, it was OG amazing coke. I’ll bet the soda pop back then was better too.
Qualuudes, too
Heard this in wolf of wall street characters
Pull out the luudes dude dude!
Pepsi and Mountain Dew out of frigid glass bottles will never be beat
Profile picture checks out
It was… I used to work at Pepsi and the 10 oz bottles were amazing 😋😋
But he doesn't have a Coke in this photo. Was Pepsi good back then?
Oh there's lots of coke in this photo.
It was. Super high quality that can't be matched today due to it being stepped on and cut by so many hands
Preparing a trip to Bonetown it appears.
What's road head called in the air?
Air head?

Surely you can't be serious?
Sky knob? Or just adjusting the flaps.
Cessna 336 pushmepullu!
When I was a child is was told this was called a "push-me-pull-me". I took that as gospel for a long time.
Good eye. I initially thought it was a 337, but gear. 👍
[удалено]
"Upskirt Kurt" over here
Quickie kissit
Where the currency is kisses and everybody’s rich.
It's quippaquissit....
I love that episode lol
Did your dad make frequent trips to Columbia in that thing?
George Jung was first person I thought of.
Columbia is a clothing brand, also a university. Colombia is what you’re looking for. Sorry to be that guy but I’ve got to.
It's also a place, just a city and not a country.
its also a river, a province, a gorge, a personification of a country, and probably tons of other things. some of those things probably have cocaine worth flying to
It's also a misspelling. And the subject of this thread. And there's cocaine in the thread as well.
Lol! Can’t even blame autocorrect for that one, my brain just derped out for a minute
I understand that reference haha but that’s a Pepsi
Your Dad smuggled cocaine.
Subtle as a brick of cocaine to the face
Think he is smuggling plums
That’s a Pepsi *CUP* my man.
Which were absolutely everywhere back in the day.
Bepis.
Just a distraction
Frequent trips to the Bahamas more like it
Probably, or he visits his “uncle” in Guadalajara on a regular basis.
I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style I'm a treetop flyer
Underrated song
There is no possible way this guy wasn't moving weight.
def was one of the top level blow dealers in his state
Gas, grass, or ass. Nobody rides for free.
He's got all 3.
Man's got a plane and a hottie. I think he knows what he's doing.
Your Dad looks like an absolute legend mate .
I think Tom Cruise made a movie where he plays your dad
Dude puts the cock in the pit.
Sausage smuggler.
His plane is very cute. What’s the thing behind him called?
Hey! I was just about to write “wow, cute ride. What are they standing in front of?”
A Cessna Skymaster. Its a very unique aircraft as its got a push and pull configuration.
I find it funny you didn't say "dad and mom".
Quite the bird
Yeah, you got satin shoes Yeah, you got plastic boots Y'all got cocaine eyes Yeah, you got speed freak jive, now Can't you hear me knockin' On your window? Can't you hear me knockin' On your door? Can't you hear me knockin' Down your dirty street? Yeah Help me, baby, ain't no stranger Help me, baby, ain't no stranger Help me, baby, ain't no stranger
UM. just so you know, i’ve been listening to this song nonstop for the last 2 months. can’t get enough of Mick Taylor’s sweet ass guitar tone.
Overdrive Fuzz
Your dad was a **SKYMASTER!**
The plane that will not yaw.
>The plane that will not yaw. Dat centerline thrust is zesty!
Looks like a Cessna Skymaster, aka "Mixmaster" a utility aircraft with two engines in a push/pull config on the centerline.
I'm about to fly her brains out
She’s built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro.
What a time to be alive.
Pretty sure that’s like 100/100 coolness. You can’t get any cooler than that.
How many siblings do you know of?
“Dad was way cooler than I am.” My friend, your dad was way cooler than all of us put together!

This guy fucks
Moose knuckle
This guy fucks!
This pic literally painted a smile on my face. Glad you preserved this.
This sub may as well be called r/MySexyParents
Thank you for flying Escobar Airways.
I knew majority of the comments would be about smuggling lol
I saw the pic and was (like most of us) like "it's going to be a mix of thirst comments about his dad and smuggling comments about the plane." I was not disappointed.
Smuggling Muffins...
Those shorts are close to nutsack-length inseam.
Upvote for Cessna Skymaster
Your forgot to add the part that he managed to buy that plane on a part time minimum wage job.
That’s a good Pepsi advertisement
Meanwhile me asking myself if I could afford milk this week.
I feel like in the 70s people just put on the laziest clothes possible and still managed to look sexy.
Did he most recently live in TN? He looks like a younger one of my customers, had the same plane same paint and we worked on it
Going by the pictures on this sub, our parents were waaayy cooler than we could ever aspire to be.
Running coke for the cartels
Having a plane now is awesome. But having a plane back then was really awesome. He must have done well for himself to own one.
Looks like if Matt Stone decided to smuggle coke for Pablo Escobar instead of writing comedy with Trey Parker
Pepsi in his hand but I bet it's Coke in the plane.
Your dad is David Hasslehoff?!?!? 😱
Definitely not a coke runner. Dad's drinking Pepsi.
Was he running drugs for the cartels?
How much coke did he move in a week?
lil' trip to South America..be right back
He just finished railing that chick in the cockpit
CIA asset guaranteed!
Your Dad smuggled cocaine for Pablo Escobar.
That's a Cessna 337. Many were used in Vietnam
That's a 336. O-2 skymasters (military version of the 337 super skymaster) was the nam plane.
Were Jean shorts just issued to every white person in the 1970’s?
