πŸ“ Spotter's notes

Getting ready to ship this old Beech from Fergus Falls, MN to Iron Mountain, MI, for restoration. It’s history goes back to WW2 when it was a photo reconnaissance aircraft in the Caribbean. Its primary role was to look for German U Boats. The odd shape just behind its door was a camera port. This is a very rare version (F2B) on a common aircraft.
