History going back to WWII with the US Navy as SNB-1 with Bu39904 c/n 3596. Re-manufactured as a SNB-5 in 1950 (reportedly with conversion number N-467), the aircraft went to Hamilton Aircraft in 1968 to become the first trigear Hamilton Turboliner. It was delivered to Ortner Air Service as N10AS, but retired in 1979 after flying with a couple of other airlines. Pictured here after a sale to Aerolíneas Especiales de Colombia to become HK-1111 fell through. The classic Beech went to Connie Kalitta Services as N10AS in 1983, but crashed November 19, 1987 after running out of fuel.
