I absolutely remember that beautiful aircraft and remember your phone getting sucked out of the window. Some of my absolute favorite videos was the Bahamas trip and all the maintenance videos. I am so happy to see it back and I look forward to the upcoming videos of it !! Glad to see you're father healing up nicely . As always thanks for taking the time to put these videos together.

Kamaka Air Cargo in Honolulu had the last Beech 18 (N933T) to fly the US mail. We'd depart HNL for Kona early on Saturday afternoons, loaf around in the shade under the wings at Kona until the mail truck showed up, then pack the entire fuselage completely full with mail and return to HNL in the orange light of a tropical sunset. Problem was, the mail was of a more or less uniform weight, so we couldn't put the heavy stuff up front like usual and were always a bit aft CG as a result. So much so that sometimes you didn't even have to pull the yoke back to rotate - she'd lift off all by herself. So many good memories.... That's a real beauty you guys got there!

What a beautiful airplane. The first airplane ride I ever had was in a Beechceft 18. Around the mid 1950's. The pilot was our next door neighbor and he flew the corporate Beech 18 mostly between San Francisco and Fort Bragg, CA . The plane's owner was the Union Lumber Company of Fort Bragg, CA, which was ultimately bought by Boise Cascade in the late 60's. In my old age I often wonder what became of that great Beech 18 our neighbor Walt Whiteman piloted..

Hi, Jacob, it's been a couple of years since I've seen any of your videos and man you have grown up. The last time I saw you, you were a little red headed kid and were riding around in a Lockheed. I'm glad you've stayed with the twin tailed birds, I think they look the best. God Bless and stay safe.

Yes, the wonderful 70 plus year old memories! Mine was living across the road from a small Oregon lumber baron’s grass strip. His shiny D18 was his baby, I can still hear the rhythm of the radials in the distance, rumbling the wonderful soothing sounds they are famous for. Cheers & best to you.👍🏻

I had the pleasure of flying a Twin Beech in the early 70's, and I too flew cargo to various grass and paved runways in North Carolina. Yours is a very fine and clean example verses my cargo carrier 18 that was rather rough. It may have not been pretty, but it flew so sweet and soft; I loved it!!!

Got multi engine rating in a Beech 18 on my 17th birthday, July 24, 1968. It was a super H-18, but I didn't care, it was still billboard ready. Belonged to allied helicopter. They needed someone to take a 135ride, my Dad said "okay, my Son needs a multi engine rating". What a great time to be alive

I flew Beech 18s for SEMO while I was in college at SIU. It was N49K with 3-bladed props. SEMO had Be18s with Club props. Another big operator was SMB Stage out of Missouri. If I remember right - SEMO was in Mauldin, Mo. SMB = Sedalia, Marshfield and Boone. It was an old stagecoach company that went way, way back - like the 1800 hundreds.

I flew the Beech E18S with the 10,100 lb up gross weight for more than 3,000 hours. I flew scheduled passenger ops and on mail flights at night and was a company check airman/instructor on our planes. This was 1973-1979 in south central Missouri. I may have been one of the last pilots to fly the Beech 18 in scheduled passenger operarions when I flew it for a commuter airline in those days. Also flew the company DC-3A in scheduled passenger ops 1976-1978 and have 1,000 hours in that airplane. The one in the video is an old D model with a one piece windshield, which did not come from the factory until the G models, and no deicing boots. The Beech 18 simply demanded that its pilot bring superior airmanship skills to the cockpit... or pay the price!
