Surely one of the most bizarre Beech 18/C-45 modifications. Former TC-45H 51-11544, converted by Rausch Engineering at Oakland CA. in 1960 but failed to receive FAA certification. Mods included the use of P-51 main gear, T-28 nose gear, a 13 ft nose extension, a 4ft rear fuselage extension, a heightened roof and enlarged cabin windows! The aircraft was cancelled from the US register in January 1976 and scrapped at Antioch CA. in 1977.
