We report visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared photometry of the IRAS planetary nebula 21282+ 5050. Narrow-band photometry at 10 microns confirms the presence of the 11.3-micron PAH feature. IRAS 21282+5050 belongs to a small group of planetary nebulae with WC11 nuclei and PAH emission. The spectral energy distribution shows that majority of the flux is emitted in the infrared, and the object has one of the highest infrared excesses among all planetary nebulae. Optical imaging (after subtraction of the central star) reveals a nebula of size of about 7 x 5 arcsec which is elongated along the N-S direction.
