What a nice old Beech 18. I flew one for Buckeye Airways in the 70’s. The sound of those P&W 450 hp engines at 45″ and 2500 rpm’s for takeoff was ear splitting. Those were the days though. I was flying out of western KY. This year I’ll be doing a FIRC class in Morristown, NJ. Still flying at 72, I first flew in 1966 when I did my first solo. I became a CFI in March, 1970 after a stint in the Army.
just a note. Is it a Beech or a Lockeed? Am I getting on a bit guys and gals?
You cropped out my 1945 Stinson L-5 ambulance, parked right behind the Beech!
Waaaaaaaaah……
My grand father had a Stinson on floats for his fishing and hunting trips to Canada eve
ry summer. No problem with customs and immigration, for sure. What have we done to the world these days.
Iconic and perfect shot….Expect Amelia to be walking toward the aircraft.
