This Beechcraft AT-11 Kansan was constructed with the s/n 43-10384 in 1943.
That year, it was taken on strength/charge with the United States Army Air Force. On the 5th of June, 1956, it was bought by Aero Service Corp, in Philadelphia PA with a new c/r, N4001A. It was used for photographic survey work until March 2nd, 1964. Chris D. Stoltzfus (and) Associates in Coatesville, PA purchased the aircraft. The Beech was then converted for agricultural spray use. 2 years and 29 days later on the 31st of March, 1966, N4001A was involved in an incident. A summarized NTSB narrative from report number NYC67F0041 states: "There were no fatalities. Incident occurred at 11:30 hours. The damage was substantial. Incident occurred at the Milford Airpark Airport, Milford, DE. The gear retracted during the takeoff run." On the 14th of November, it went to Joseph R. Hudson Inc, in Milton, DE. On February 4th, 1987, Allen Chorman and Son Inc bought it. To this day, it is owned and operated by Jeff Chorman, the owner of Allen Chorman & Son Mosquito Control, out of Greenwood, DE at D74 Chorman Airport. N4001A, along with N5552A, a retired Coast Guard Beech 18, are now used for spraying. This repaint was tested in FSX and P3D V5 and should work in any other Milton Shupe Beech AT-11 installation. Installation instructions are included.
