THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Beechcraft Model 18 Twin Beech

The Twin Beech is a low-wing, twin-engine aircraft recognisable by its twin fins and, in its familiar configuration, tailwheel landing gear. Production began in the 1930s and continued for decades. Operators adapted it to a wide range of commercial and military jobs.

Different Model 18 derivatives can carry different undercarriages, cabin layouts and equipment. The type sits between a light private twin and a larger airliner, offering a useful view of how small-scale passenger and cargo transport worked before the turboprop became commonplace.
