I was flying out of San Diego Intl Thursday morning (10/9) and I saw a Fed Ex plane and it looked like a single engine Cessna.  What ever it was it was a single engine prop.  Does anyone know what this plane was and what Fed Ex uses them for?  I can only think that they may use them as cargo planes into very plane remote air fields.  I suppose out in the Southeastern California desert there are a lot of small communities with smaller airfields.

What ever it was I sure would like to get an FSX version.
