Actually you are close....I work on this airport and can tell you first hand you are looking at a North American B-25 Mitchell Bomber J model. Her tag is "Martha Jean" and she is owned by David and Marilyn Wheaton. Attached is a pix I took with my phone so the resolution is pretty poor...sry.

One thing that can cause confusion between Google Earth and real time is that GE imagery is not current. The image you are looking at is from October 12, 2004. While I can't be positive of my identification given the poor resolution, it measures correctly for a Beech 18. A B-25 has a wing span almost half again as large.
Beechcraft Model 18 information.
Wingspan: 47 ft 8 in (14.53 m)
B-25 Mitchell information.
Wingspan: 67 ft 6 in (20.6 m)
It would nice to see those pictures though.

There's also a Panoramio image by Han de Ridder showing the center wing and attached landing gear. It looks like it's going to be a while before it ends up in a display. No mention of plans for it on the museum web site.
