I bought a box of old negatives at an estate sale and found several
aircraft images in the lot. Here are some samples.

Is this a recon aircraft?


My best guess would be a Beech L.23 Seminole.

Yep, according to "Wiki" it's a L-23D, and specifically mentions s/n
57-3101. Later redesignated U-8D. If that trapezoidal feature on it's belly
is a radar then it is a RL-23D. Or it could have been redesignated U-8D
after 1962 and then converted to RU-8D. All that, of course according to
Wikipedia. :-)
