Beech D18S N35W trigear (A-1006) N35W at Oshkosh July 1997, with name Linda Lou on the nose. This view shows to advantage some of the modifications: Volpar trigear, airstair door and wrap-around windscreen. Like so many American Beech 18s, this aircraft had a long executive and airline career. Photo: Gordon Reid
