Originally delivered as C-45H 52-10593 to the USAF in 1953, remanufactured at Wichita by Beech from T-11 42-37384 c/n 3977. Later modified to TriGear by Pacific Air Motive. Here seen as sightseeing aircraft in Denali National Park (AK)

Modified TriGear Twin Beech

The sole Pacific Airmotive Super Turbo Tradewind conversion. It was converted in 1966 and later bought by Winnipeg based Ministic Air and registered as C-FRGT. Less than a year later it was wrecked in a bungled approach in poor viz. Note the snow on the ground in May!

Built as a E18S in 1956, this Beech 18 was converted to a Super Turbo Tradewind in 1966. Ministic Air bought it from Union Flights (N25SM) in January 1991. Unfortunately the aircraft undershot an approach in poor weather and impacted a frozen lake at Little Grand Rapids, MB on May 2, 1992. Wreckage was recovered from the lake by K & K Aircraft and taken to Bridgewater, VA as a source of parts.

This was once a regular tail-dragging twin-tail Beech 18 (C-45G 51-11851), but in 1969 it was converted into this very different-looking PAC Tradewind, with a single fin and a nose gear. Stored at Merrill Field since the early 2000s, and starting circa 2010 it was slowly being stripped of parts. It was still there by early 2018, but by then in pityful condition, laying on its tail.

Struck off register in 2012

Like many Beech 18s, N118L received several updates, starting with an airstair door in 1957 and culminating with the single-fin Tradewind conversion in 1963.
