The Beechcraft 200C is a variant of the King Air series, a foundational model in general aviation manufacturing. Beechcraft, a manufacturer known for durable airframes since its founding, developed the Model 200 from the earlier Model 100 King Air. The 200 received civil certification in 1973, with deliveries beginning the following year.
The 200C model was created in 1979, specifically featuring a large cargo door. This design choice led to its frequent use in utility roles, including as an air ambulance. The broader King Air 200 design is extensively utilized by the military as the C-12 Huron utility transport. Beechcraft continues its legacy of innovation as part of Textron Aviation, producing advanced turboprop and piston designs.
