Flying a Beech 18 - Twin Engine WWII Airplane

That will be a lifetime memory!

I have spent a fare bit of time in that very plane when it was part of my family. I’m glad it has a good home. Thanks for posting the video.

Very cool!

[@dennisbarnes1137]

Thanks for that! Awesome plane, I love the sound of the engines. I worked at Drake Field (Fayetteville, AR) in the late 1970s. A few of them would come in. They were flying freight, and were not in as good condition as this one.

Im sorry but this model is just beautiful 👍

[@mikearakelian6368]

Want to listen to the engines..they'll tell you if somethings amiss with them

What is that annoying beeping during engine start? I never heard when I was flying Be-18s.

What was the minor issue? Would it have been major in the air?

[@SectionElevenOutdoors]

One of the magnetos was out of time and it would make a small backfire during the mag check. We would have been ok in the air

why the music and not the glorious engines?????????????????????????????

[@SectionElevenOutdoors]

I wish the audio was better, but you couldn’t really hear the engines. It sounded more like white noise

@@SectionElevenOutdoors ... Just be thankful for those Bose noise cancellers. I flew an 18 quite a bit in my younger days and my hearing suffered for the lack of good noise cancelling headsets.
