This airframe has had an eventful life, it was built as an AT-7 Navigator during WWII, re-manufactured as a USAF C-45G by Beech at Wichita in 1953, and civilianised and converted to single-fin Tradewind configuration with Volpar tri-gear by Pac Aero at Burbank, CA., in 1965. During its civilian career it has suffered a gear-up forced landing, been impounded for drug smuggling and been damaged by a falling skydiver.
