I photographed the Historic Flight Foundation’s RC-45J (Beech Model 18) at Paine Field in 2012. The Commemorative Air Force’s C-45 Expeditor “Bucket of Bolts” was at Boeing Field in 2014 in conjunction with the CAF’s B-29 Fifi. In addition to Navy and Army examples of the UC-45J at the Pima Air&Space Museum, other Beechcraft Model 18 variants in their impressive collection were an AT-11 Kansan and an AT-7 Navigator. It is interesting that some of the Expeditors run a two-bladed prop and others have three-bladed props.
