Description
This Beech 18 was originally owned by the State of Michigan Department of Transportation and was used for aerial photography of the Michigan highway system and was also used as transportation for Michigan’s governor. As a result it has had excellent care and maintenance over the years. It received new paint and interior in 1999, and then avionics upgrades in 2000, with fresh engines and props that same year. Since that time we have continued with great maintenance and continuous refinements to the avionics and equipment on board. This 18 has been used over 150 hours per year since we bought it in 2002 for business trips and has been kept in great running condition. This is definitely a top 5 airplane and a good argument could be made that it is the top Beech 18 in existence today. She is reliable, smooth and beautiful. She never fails to draw a crowd at any airport we stop at. LH prop 587 TSMOH, RH prop 616 TSMOH. Excellent maintenance history. Fresh Spar Inspection. Recent P&I. Beautiful Airplane; Must See!
