Originally delivered as an L-18 to the RCAF in 1943, this Lodestar was sold to the USA in 1949. It was converted to a Howard 250 in 1961 and operated as a deluxe business aircraft until sold to the Volunteer Squadron of the Confederate Air Force in 1981. Photographed in full warbird colors, the big twin would be destroyed in a non-fatal take off accident in 2004.
