This aircraft started life a Beech E18S but later had the Hamilton Westwind nose fitted and was converted to PT-6 power. It was one of 5 similar conversions operated by K&K, which later became Dynamic Aviation, out of Los Alamitos on the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Medfly) eradication programme. When the Beech 18 turbos were displaced by ex US Army U-21s this aircraft was sold to the Brazoria County Mosquito Control District of Angleton, Texas, for use as a mosquito control sprayer.

Aircraft used as a sprayer by K and K Aircraft but had been retired in favor of King Air's aircraft by 2002.

The only one of the four DC-3's we saw at Bridgewater that wasn't a sprayer.
