Grimes Flying Lab Foundation. Originally manufactured as a Beech C-45H transport aircraft for the U.S. Air Force in 1953. It was acquired by Warren Grimes in 1963 to be used as a lighting demonstration aircraft.

Over the years the aircraft regularly was flown at air shows around the world and continued being used as a laboratory to develop new lighting products. In 1986 the plane was damaged at an air show and sold for salvage.

In 1999 the plane was purchased by Honeywell which had purchased Grimes Manufacturing and moved the damaged and dismantled airplane back to Grimes Field for restoration. Volunteer worked on the restoration project and the plane once again began flying out of Grimes Field in 2008. The Grimes Flying Lab Foundation was formed to handle the restoration of the aircraft.
