Beechcraft TC-12B Huron<\/h1>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The Beechcraft C-12 is part of the company\u2019s King Air family of mid-sized turboprop powered civil aircraft. It has been used by all branches of the U.S. military. The King Air was introduced by Beechcraft in 1964 with the slightly redesigned Model 200 Super King Air going on sale in 1974. The King Air is one of the most successful aircraft in its class and has remained in production continuously since its introduction in 1964. The C-12 is the military designation for the Model 200. The first C-12s entered service with the U.S. Army in 1974 as general purpose cargo and personnel transports. The Navy and Marines followed in 1979. Since then many versions of the C-12 have been produced for use as transport aircraft and for other specialized duties such as reconnaissance and electronic warfare. The TC-12B Huron was used primarily for training pilots to fly multi-engine aircraft.<\/p>\n
