While a Beech model 18 is correct, this is an SBN-5 Navy version of the C-45, which is the Air Force designation for the Beech 18.

Got 2 partial Beech 18's at the A&P school I am attending. Both lack engines and one lacks gear as well. Rumor has it that there are about 5 to 10 more buried around the airfield. The exigencies of post war property disposal.

Cochise college has been known to trade planes in order to get one they want more. They traded the 4 radial engines from those two Beech's for a Cessna 310. Personally I think they should have kept the radials for training aids.
