Beechcraft 18 / 3TM Twin Beech (Multiple)

I photographed these Beechcraft 18 Twin Beech examples at Pima, CAF Mesa, Smithsonian, Hood River OR, Fort Wort TX and Oshkosh.

Some of the Model 18 examples on this page may be painted to resemble military versions, like the C-45 Expeditor or other branches that stem from the “Twin Beech” family, like the AT-11 Kansan and AT-7 Navigator.

It looks like the nose art was updated between these encounters.
