This interesting Beech 18 conversion was parked at the far end of Merill Field and obviously has seen better days.

Remanufactured by Beech from T-7C 43-33498 c/n 5953 to C-45G 51-11851 for the USAF in 1953. Later converted to a C-45H. To N9859Z in 1965 and converted to a PAC Tradewind. To N11DA in 1969. Cancelled from the register in 2018 on expiration.

This was once a regular tail-dragging twin-tail Beech 18 (C-45G 51-11851), but in 1969 it was converted into this very different-looking PAC Tradewind, with a single fin and a nose gear. Stored at Merrill Field since the early 2000s, and starting circa 2010 it was slowly being stripped of parts. It was still there by early 2018, but by then in pityful condition, laying on its tail.
