The newest addition to the Wing's fleet, the SNB is currently undergoing
restoration, coordinated by the Dewline Squadron in Amarillo. When
this is completed, it will be a companion and support aircraft for the
SB2C as "The Beast" travels to airshows and fly-ins.
The SNB is a Navy designation for
the Beech 18. The Navy (and Marine Corps) also operated it as the JRB. The same aircraft was known as the C-45 "Expeditor" in Army
service. Variants were also used for training (the AT-11
"Kansan" and "Navigator") and patrol.
