NEW LISTING! N210Q 1957 BEECH E-18S
The 1957 Beech E18S is part of the legendary Beechcraft Model 18 family—one of the most versatile and enduring twin-engine aircraft designs ever produced. Originally developed in the late 1930s, the “Twin Beech” went on to serve in a wide range of roles including passenger transport, cargo hauling, and military training, earning a reputation for reliability and adaptability that continues to this day.
This newly listed example offers a compelling blend of classic design and practical capability. Equipped with a 318-gallon fuel system, it provides impressive range for cross-country flying, while metal control surfaces enhance durability and long-term maintenance value. The addition of de-ice equipment further expands operational flexibility, allowing for safer flight in a wider range of weather conditions.
With its twin-engine performance, spacious cabin, and unmistakable vintage ramp presence, the E18S remains a favorite among operators seeking both utility and heritage. Aircraft in this category typically offer multi-engine capability with seating for up to 10, making them as functional as they are iconic.
Now offered at just $149,000, this Beech E18S represents an outstanding entry point into classic twin ownership—delivering capability, history, and value in one proven platform. Click below for details! https://www.courtesyaircraft.com/aircraft/n210q-1957-beech-e-18s/

NEW PRICE! N51705 NORTH AMERICAN T-28D-5(A)
The North American T-28D Trojan is a legendary warbird, originally developed as a military trainer in the 1950s before being transformed into a formidable light attack aircraft for combat operations in Southeast Asia. This example has been expertly restored to the iconic “Raven” configuration, representing the aircraft flown in covert forward air control missions during the Vietnam era—making it a highly distinctive and historically significant platform.
Offered with a fresh inspection, this aircraft presents a rare opportunity for collectors and operators alike.

The T-28D’s rugged design, tandem two-seat configuration, and proven performance as a combat-capable platform continue to make it one of the most sought-after warbirds on the market.
This motivated seller has recently reduced the price to $260,000, making this uniquely configured and highly collectible T-28D an outstanding value in today’s warbird market. Sold with a fresh annual inspection. Contact Mark Clark today at 815-229-5112 or email [email protected]

REDUCED! N440WH CURTISS WRIGHT P-40E PROJECT
Few aircraft embody the legacy of World War II like the Curtiss-Wright P-40 Warhawk—an iconic fighter flown by the legendary Flying Tigers and Allied forces around the globe. Today, surviving examples are rare, and opportunities like N440WH are even rarer.
This remarkably original P-40E project is best described as a true time capsule. Sold surplus by the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1946 and carefully preserved by only two owners since, it remains one of the most authentic restoration candidates in existence. The aircraft has been fully disassembled and inspected, revealing an exceptionally clean airframe. Its Allison V-1710 engine and Curtiss Electric propeller have both been overhauled to zero time, and substantial restoration progress has already been completed.
With much of the hard work done, N440WH offers a unique opportunity for the next owner to complete the project to their exact standards while preserving its extraordinary originality. An award-winning warbird restoration shop estimates approximately $600,000 to finish the aircraft. With restored
P-40s valued around $2,100,000, this represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire and complete one of the most historic and recognizable fighters of the era. Price Slashed to $1,500,000!

This striking AT-6A Texan delivers the unmistakable sound and presence only a true warbird can offer. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1340-AN-1 radial with just 409 hours since major overhaul, paired with a strong Hamilton Standard constant-speed propeller, this aircraft is ready to perform and turn heads wherever it flies.
While it honors its legendary heritage, this AT-6A is equipped for confident modern flying. The panel features a Garmin GTN-650 WAAS COM/NAV/GPS, Garmin GTX-345R ADS-B IN/OUT, quality intercom, encoder, and USB connectivity — blending classic stick-and-rudder experience with today’s situational awareness and cross-country capability.
With just over 5,300 hours total time, the airframe was professionally restored and completely rewired in Canada in 2002, offering both authenticity and long-term reliability. It has recent wing AD inspection compliance with extended times under NATA AMOC, a current transponder certification, and a fresh March 2026 annual scheduled for completion — giving the next owner confidence moving forward.
Inside, the refurbished cockpit preserves the iconic military look and feel pilots expect from this legendary trainer — an experience as visceral as it is historic.

NEW! N18097 LOCKHEED 12A "ELECTRA JUNIOR"
Few aircraft capture the elegance and romance of aviation’s golden age like the Lockheed 12A Electra Junior. A true icon of the Art Deco era, the Model 12 combined advanced performance with refined luxury—earning its place as one of the premier executive transports of the late 1930s.
Delivered in 1938, N18097 (s/n 1250) later served during World War II before undergoing a meticulous restoration. Finished in the striking livery of Phillips Oil, this aircraft reflects over 12,000 manhours of expert craftsmanship and was recognized with an award-winning debut at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2011.
With only 130 examples built—and just a handful flying today—the Electra Junior represents an extraordinary opportunity to own a rare and historically significant aircraft that embodies the very spirit of the golden age.
Offered at $1,200,000, N18097 is more than an aircraft—it is a statement piece, a proven award winner, and a chance to acquire one of the most elegant and collectible pre-war aircraft in existence.
