About:
Originally built as a 3NM Navigation Trainer for the Royal Canadian Air Force, this beautiful Beech-18 was returned to SNB-5 configuration during a 2000-01 restoration. Sold by the RCAF in the late 70's, it subsequently went through a number of owners but has never been a freighter. Featured in the May/June 2016 issue of Warbirds Digest (pp 34-41), the 2011 Ghosts Calendar (Nov.) and even the subject of a die-cast model, the airplane has been an OSH favorite for years. Authentic 1950's USMC paint scheme is complimented by a comfortable six-place leather executive interior featuring a couch, writing table, headphone jacks and power outlets. It has a 278 gallon fuel capacity and nose and cabin baggage compartments. Panel includes full co-pilot instruments as well as Garmin 530W, 430W and Aera GPS with XM WX, ADSB in/out and a coupled Century 2000 autopilot
