Beechcraft C-45F Expeditor Flight over NAS Oceana - Beech 18

Flying aboard Hal Ewing's beautiful C-45F Expeditor "CC-696" at the 2012 NAS Oceana Air Show. Based on the Beechcraft Model 18, the C-45 first flew in 1937 and flew with each military branch during WW2. Over 9,000 were built in over 32 variants. The C-45 served as a navigation and bomber/gunner trainer and post-war, as a corporate transport, among other things.

Special thanks to Hal Ewing and Captain William Doty and to NAS Oceana Public Affairs Officer Kelley Stirling for making this flight possible.
