Beech C-45G HB-GFT (AF-171) at Basle, Switzerland in February 1976 with Ciba-Pilatus Aerial Spraying, used for United Nations contracts for large-scale pesticide spraying in Africa. This much-travelled aircraft was converted to a Volpar VTB-18 Super Turbo 18 in Taiwan in 1966, while operated by Air America. After surviving locust spraying in primitive conditions in Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Kenya, it crossed the Atlantic again to join the large fleet of turbine Beech 18s with Connie Kalitta Flying Service at Detroit-Willow Run.
