Golden
West Airlines Beech 99 N954SM
(c/n U67)

This Beech 99 came from Skymark
Airlines, a Sacramento-based commuter carrier of the late
1960s. I am not sure if it was the intent of
Golden West at one time to
introduce this type as a
Twin Otter alternative or
not. In the
event it was sold off to Air Wisconsin after very little
use.
I found it lurking among the Twin Otters one day at
Long Beach in
1969.
