Beech 23
Musketeer N2352Z
(c/n M-66)
In 1962 Beech introduced a kind of "poor man's
Bonanza/Debonair" in the form of the Model
23. Early machines
were known as the Musketeer. The type quickly caught on and by
1965
was being offered in
three versions: Musketeer Custom, Musketeer Sport and Musketeer
Super.
The above is an early
delivery seen at Hawthorne in 1962. This type was enhanced later
as the
Sundowner.
