This airframe was built by Beech in 1942 as AT-11 41-9567 and re-manufactured by them as C-45G Expeditor 51-11712 in 1953. It was civilianised in 1961 as N8182H, and over the years has carried N1185, YV-T-THJ, N1185(again) and lastly since 1989 N447DM; although struck-off in 2021 it was reinstated in June 2024 and is still current on the USCAR. In the mid-1960s it was converted as a tri-gear and received Conrad 9800 modifications including the one-piece windshield which gives it a somewhat unfamiliar look. Lastly the FAA web site shows the engine type as "Turbo-prop"! This photo is copyright © Roger Syratt, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
