Beechcraft 18 – New Hampshire
Here we see a Beechcraft 18 abandoned and lonely in New Hampshire, a designed and manufactured fleet in Wichita, Kansas. During its peak, it was one of the most used aircraft worldwide and was so because of the high number in operation. Between 1937 to November 1969, reports are that close to 9,500 units were continuously manufactured, and interestingly, hundreds of these units are still in operation to this day. However, this one pictured here is one of those that didn’t get a chance to live through the years to be in operation now, but we are sure it served its purpose.
Honorary Mentions
This is worth being added to a special category on this list – honorable mentions. We felt the need to add this aircraft to the list even though it was not a part of the years’ operational bunch. Hopefully, you will not get angry at us for making this addition, but it will definitely be worth your while. This hovercraft presents an interesting sight, and we couldn’t go past it without highlighting it. It can be found at the former US Navy base in the Southern regions of Jacksonville, Florida, at a location known as Green Cove Springs. Sadly, it was never finished; thus, it never got a chance to fly.
