Started with this.....


Ended with a partnership with this.......


No longer current in type.

what model is that?

B18E had higher cabin
P&W 450hp 985 engines

You know your old birds, Beech 18 with the upgraded R985's. Are you a pilot?

Less telephoto....

Yeh, I got some B18 time

Great old plane, but a bit thirsty. Leaned out in cruise could manage about 40 gph. Would like to have a Lancair Evolution homebuilt, 270 KTAS @ 22 gph, 240 KTAS @ 17.5 gph. Being aerodynamically clean sure makes a big difference. 50% faster for 1/2 the fuel burn.

AirForce 1

$180,000 per hour

Beech 18 $400 per hour.

I marshaled in some of those old prop planes while at Burlington Air Express.Man they where louder than jets.One I remember was a plane converted to small package freighter that was just drop dead really nice resto.It shined in the sun like a brand new plane.

Hey Bob,you had to have the neighbors talking when you had that parked in the driveway.Hehe-you use the car for a push back??.

That home is the now full owners, in the old neighborhood. Some other neighborhood pictures, Cameron Air Park Estates, where everyone has a plane or two parked at the home.

Last plane I flew had 199ft11inch wingspan and they won't let anything be over the property easement line so I had to leave it behind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That wingspan is 4 times the Beech. Are you a commercial pilot?

retired----last was B777

type ratings on b720,b727,b737,b757,b767,b777 and lr jet

turbo jet flight engineer

That sure trumps me. Who did you fly for?

United Airlines
