Tailwheel 0 #26 May 31, 2010 I've got a small handfull of flights co-piloting that one and i'm glad to see it restored to it current condition. Nothing better than firing it up and having everyone come out to watch her rumble past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkhayes 126 #27 May 31, 2010 we would put 15 in ours at Claresholm Alberta in the early 80's. Looking back at it that was probably not a good idea. The plane was really well maintained, so it was in great shape. I have seen some that are plain scary and I would not want to be in. Beech 18 is a great plane, IF it is well taken care of, but it is also an airplane that i would not want to be in during an engine failure or during a stall. I think Nouvel Aire in PQ has two of them, since retired mostly as they contract Turbines now. A lot of them were built in the 30's and 40's, wow - bad enough that we are jumping out of Cessnas from the 50's and Turbines from the 60's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
