Originally delivered to the U.S. Navy as an SNB-2 in 1943, "Sonoran Beauty" served as a multi-engine trainer during World War II and the Korean War era. In 1953 she was remanufactured to SNB-5 standard — the final and most refined variant of the Navy's Beech 18.
The Beechcraft Model 18 (Twin Beech) was one of the most successful twin-engine aircraft ever produced, with over 9,000 built between 1937 and 1970. The SNB series served the U.S. Navy as a navigation trainer, instrument trainer, and utility transport. Few survive in original military configuration today.
After her military service, Sonoran Beauty passed through civilian hands before being acquired by the CAF Mile High Wing, where she was restored to her Navy livery and returned to flying condition. She remains one of the finest examples of a flyable SNB-5 in existence.

The North American T-28A Trojan entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 1950 as the replacement for the legendary T-6 Texan. Designed to ease the transition from propeller trainers to the jets that were revolutionizing military aviation, the T-28 gave thousands of Korean War-era pilots their wings.
The tandem-seat configuration places the student pilot in front and the instructor behind — a layout that puts our VIP Flight passengers right in the front seat with an unobstructed view over the nose. With 800 horsepower pulling a relatively light airframe, the T-28A delivers a flying experience that is spirited, responsive, and unforgettable.
N92TL is a recently acquired addition to the Mile High Wing fleet, joining "Sonoran Beauty" to give us two distinct aircraft for VIP Flights and living history displays across Colorado and the region.
