And our air force called it the C-45. My dad used to carry around cadets in
one for orientation flights back when he was teaching ROTC back in the late
1950s.

The first small plane crash scene I ever saw was a Beech 18. I was a kid, and
don't remember all the details. It went down heading into Toledo Express
Airport. (that was what it was called at the time)

It was a freight dog, clipped some tree tops, and went down. It had not been
hauled off yet, and was taped off, but I was impressed at the force of the
destruction. The crash was just a few miles from my house, and I rode over to
look at it on my bicycle, I think. Sad, terrible accident.

I just tried to look it up, but got no results. I guess I'm not smart enough to
make the database search work. :-()
