Current Beech 18 Operators

I think Dynamic Aviation operates a few 1800's out of Southern California.

There's one doing a nightly UPS run from Great Bend, KS GBD to ICT. Don't recall the company name though, think they're based at GUY?

No such thing as an 1800....

They were BE-18T (Hamilton Westwind III's) and are all gone now.

One is flown by Brazoria County Mosquito Control District

Two went to a Be-18 operator in So. Florida(one of which was promptly wrecked in the Bahamas, and I think replaced with a third from Dynamic).

The last I beleive is for sale @KVBW.

The Dynamic So Cal operation is flown with all U-21's
(Army "Ute"/Civil. BE 65-A90-1's) now.

I remember seeing a Beech twin with tricycle gear tucked away in the Millionair ramp at TEB a few years ago. I just recently saw a Beech 18 being used in 135 ops in Spokane.( Cargo)

Tol air out of San Juan?

Don't know who was running it but I saw a turbine volpar Beech 18 pick up freight out of YIP the other day. That's the first turbine twin beech I've seen fly in about a decade.

We had a BE-18 T with tricycle gear come through YIP this week

I'm the only twin beech driver left at Phoenix Air Transport. Still operating one on nightly newspaper runs around the southwest.

Monarch air and Aztec Airways down in FL still run some. Nord Aviation in Santa Teresa, NM still has a couple (one used to be ours N9375Y).

Catalina Flying boats sold the last of theirs just recently but still runs the DC-3's and the caravan.

I delivered one to Opa Locka (N18R) from Long Beach but I can't remember the name of the outfit. I think it may have been island airways or something like that.

You may want to try posting at Beech18.net. I post there quite a bit and there are a lot of old 18 dogs on there. I also see some guys posting that still run freight in 18's. They may be able to help.
