Beech SNB-5 Navigator       67220

                                  

                                       Nice Beech Aircraft Corporation study of a military Beech 18, this time a Navy one.  The US Navy
                                       and US Marine Corps used the Model 18 extensively, some 1,500 examples winding up with Bureau
                                       numbers.  In 1952 a number of SNB-2s were re-manufactured to zero-time condition as SNB-5s,
                                       and this was one of them.  Later, in 1962 with the introduction of the tri-service designation scheme,
                                       these aircraft became TC-45Js (or RC-45Js if they were of the reconnaissance persuasion).
