The Beechcraft 18 is still there, but time is starting to take a toll on the aircraft. Only one prop was spinning during my visit.

Another out-of-the-way stop, but worth it. Plane is still there, propellers spinning away.
[Eric Young, 03/31/2017]
The airplane is still there. One of the things I found interesting was that the propellers were turning even though it was a very light breeze.
