Spotted on I-5, mystery aircraft

[GrauGeist]

I had to go to SoCal this past week (absolute misery with my body still being broken up) and we pulled off the 5 in Lebec to get gas and a bite to eat. There's a facility to one side that services trucks, etc and I spotted this as we drove past. Fortunately, I had my camera handy and grabbed this shot.

I know the photo looks like hell, but it was on the fly, through a window and into the sun.

Anyway, trying to figure what it is...at first, I thought a Lockheed but the fuselage is too "boxy".

It's a twin Beech, C-45

Yep, Joe beat me to it! Great photo Dave!

Thanks Evan!

You know, my first thought was a Beech, but then I started over analysing it...

Heck, when I saw the thread title, I thought maybe you'd found that aircraft someone was wanting colour pictures of .....!

I wonder where it was headed.

Interesting shot Dave!

Certainly would be good to know that Eric.

As my German teacher used to say: 'Das erste gedanke ist immer richtig!' - The first thought is always right!

That's a neat shot!
