About the Beechcraft Model 18
The Beechcraft Model 18 ("Twin Beech") is a classic radial-engine twin produced 1937 to 1970 — one of the longest-produced aircraft of its era, with over 9,000 built. Twin Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engines, six to eleven seats, ~180 knot cruise. Used historically for transport, cargo, military (C-45 Expeditor) and famously for skydiving (the large door is iconic), the Model 18 is a sought-after vintage twin and one of the most characterful aircraft you can fly.
