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.
