A 1960 Beech 18S, this aircraft was first registered N9991R. Later registrations over the years were N18C, N18CK and N1800L Wild Blue Yonder Inc bought it in 1999 and re-registered it N181WB in 2001. The aircraft was destined to go to a new owner in Australia registered VH-NWB, but during a pre-delivery test flight, control was lost on take-off February 12, 2012. It came down hard on the left wing at Hollister Airport doing substantial damage. The parted out hulk is pictured at San Martin , CA.
