L-23 Seminole

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

L-23 Seminole was the USAF designation for the Beechcraft Twin Bonanzas and Queen Airs in its inventory. The Twin Bonanzas were designated L-23A to L-23E and the Queen Airs as L-23F.

When US military aircraft designations were revised in 1962, the only remaining Twin Bonanzas were L-23Ds, which became U-8Ds, and the L-23F Queen Airs became U-8Fs.
