What's in the Background?

As I was browsing barnstormers I came across this picture in ad belonging to a Mr. Jackson of Brainerd, MN. I hope he doesn't mind me re-posting this picture.

I see in the back left of the photo some sort of crusty looking twin. I can't tell exactly what it is. Can anyone help me identify it? Lockheed? Boeing 247? Anson? Whatever it is, it appears to be in need of some attention. I wonder if it is also for sale.



I also figured this would be a good JDK style quiz, though I don't have the answer.

Peace,

Aeronca Champ with a big tail. The triangular steel truss aft fuselage gives away the Aeronca Part. The window frame shape tells you it is a Champ. The extended dorsal tells you it is a big tail Champ. Could be an L-16B if we need warbird content in this thread.

To the OP.. That looks Lockheed to me, but...

Beech C-45 44-87123 (c/n 8382) to civil registry as N4910N
(current with James E Jackson, Brainerd, MN. since 24-Aug-1987) perhaps ?

Wally, you're probably right. I didn't even consider it to be a Beech 18 because for some reason it just didn't look right to me. That is the most probable answer. Thanks.

And a late model (note single strut) Luscombe.
