This aircraft was taking part in the AOPA "Parade of Planes" from Palm Springs International Airport through the city's streets to the downtown Conference Centre where the annual AOPA Convention was being held that year. Location: Intersection of Sunrise Way and East Tahquitz Canyon Way, coordinates: 33.82314 -116.52874. The 260SE/STOL is a modified Cessna 182, in this case a 182Q, with an uprated engine, bush wheels (not fitted to this example) and aerodynamic modifications including, as can be seen, a high-lift canard.
