Check out this one, private operator, all white.

A lot of people, even at XO, don't know the whole story about the all white paint...

The first 300 was actually painted in the X paint scheme, actually the 5000th Cessna (X) paint job. Its just a little different than our regular X's, it has 2 silver stripes on top of the fuselage. I saw a pic of our 300 with this paint job and it looked awful!!! So bad that Touw said to repaint it all white when he saw it... Last I heard they were still working on a new paint scheme.

There is a reason behind the madness, but I kinda like the solid white paint job too! It looks good in person, kinda pearl white looking.
