The Huron is a military adaptation of the successful Beechcraft Super King Air 200. Initially and still used for VIP and staff transport it is also used for electronic reconnaissance. A number are used by the Army for airway flight check like the FAA.
73-22250 is the first C12, it was a A series later modified to the C. There was no prototype because it was a off the shelf procurement.
It is in non display storage.
