Viscount N7458 was delivered to Capital Airlines in December 1956. Capital was merged into United Airline in 1961 and this aircraft was sold in 1969 as the last of the Viscounts were withdrawn. It flew once again with Aerosierra De Durango as XA-COT 1973 -78. Sold to Go Transportation in 1981, it was stored at Tucson, AZ and used for parts until broken up in 1989. The nose section was saved and is displayed at the Wings of History Air Museum in San Martin, CA.

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.

The size of the tyres indicates that this aircraft is used on rough strips.

I came across this airfield on a drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco due to seeing signs for an aircraft museum that was unfortunately closed. This was the most unusual aircraft to be seen.
