Photo Comment

This aircraft is a conversion of a Beech 18, and is the longest Beech 18 variant ever built or converted. Only one Westwind II STD has ever been converted and the type was certified in 1975. It was delivered to Connie Kalitta, and the gracious aircraft flew with them until it suffered wing fire damage in 1993. It is now derelict at Detroit-Willow Run. Ex US Navy 23835.
