Final Approach
So I'm having fun with my self-directed A&P apprenticeship here in South Florida. Self-directed means that the boss tells me to do something and I figure out how to do it. We are restoring a fleet of Beech 18's to fly cargo to the Bahamas. The first is about ready to take to the air and today I moved over to the next.
This is an H model and I'm told it's the last factory tailwheel job. We also have the next serial number which is the first factory nose wheel job. There are earlier Beechs with the Volpar conversion but we have the first where they made the switch over to exclusively tricycle gear.
The paint has been stripped and I'm going to go over it for any sheet metal work needed. I'm also going to redo the interior cargo space. This aircraft was flown from Mississippi to Florida.
