Former Royal Canadian Air Force wartime Expiditor flew with Millardair from 1969 until the carrier's bankruptcy in 1990. Exported to the USA in 1992 the aircraft became N40JT, but not without a fight. Modified to an Expiditor Mk 3T circa 1952, this model was not eligible for US certification. The registration was approved after the aircraft "assumed" the identity of Beech 18 Mk 3TM cn A-728 / CCA-128 for the USCAR in 1993. It's still current on the US Registry at the time of uploading.

Another twin Beech with an interesting history. Originally built for the USAAF as 43-35552, but delivered to the Canadians as Expediter Mk.I HB139. Modified to Mk.3 in 1952. Then as a Cargoliner with Millardair from 1969 until 1992 as CF-SIJ and C-FSIJ. Transferred to the USA in July 92, due to difficulties with the certification of the Mk.3T, N40JT was put on the register as a Mk.3TM with c/n CA-128. But that c/n actually belongs to CF-ZQE which was under restoration at CFB Winnipeg (MB) at the time.

All shiny after a wash and part of a fleet which at the time included three more Beech 18s, eight DC-3s and five DC-4s. C-117s were later obtained but operations ceased finally in 1990
