Destroyed in a fatal crash on a test flight after maintenance from Fort Sill-Henry Post, OK in 1987.

Thought to be ex FMS 70-21055, c/n TF-68, but but also reported as TC-1395 so confirmation is needed. Photographed from the Science & Technology Museum car park, and based at the nearby Turkish Army air base at Ankara - Guvercinlik (LTAB).

Built for US Army with s/n 65-12702. After Army use it was transferred to Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville, WI. When the aircraft technical school closed in 2012-13 the a/c was acquired by the Friends of Army Aviation, based in Ozark, Alabama.

A military Beech 56TC Baron was designated in the US Army inventory as T-42A Cochise. Here you can see the aircraft serving the California Army National Guard. It was retired some months after this picture was made, and was replaced by a C-12D (82-23783). The Cochise was sold on the civil market and is currently flying from Bennett (CO) as N50780, still in the US Army colours.

Pending being withdrawn from use
