Hello all.
I am a newish pilot, and probably a younger pilot at 32, and have around 100 hours with about 10 in an 1975 A36tc. I am fortunate to have a boss that decided we needed a plane, so we bought the Bonanza.
I am a member of the Cessna employees flying club and get great rates on 172, 182, and 206's so most all my time has been in G1000 Cessna's. I will tell you what you probably already know, the Beech is so much nicer to fly.
The Bonanza has a single Aspen 1000, Garmin 530, Garmin coms, Garmin transponder. After market turbo normalized system. (can't think of name right now)
Plane is hangered at KICT.

POST PICTURES OF THE BONANZA!!!! Wanted to be first to tell you that. Shannon Thank you, and you are correct, I don't work for Cessna. My Grandfather retired from Cessna so I get the benefit of being a member flying nice newer Cessnas for less than the cost of fuel. Its a great thing. Sorry for the grainy pic, all the others are too large.

I've always been puzzled by the lack of BT folks in and around Wichita. Be sure and spread the word! Well here's one view on that issue. I joined BT after moving to Tucson and needing info about maintaining my airplane. Googling various issues eventually caused me to bump into BT. I lived in Wichita prior to Tucson. Living in Wichita I never needed to google anything, because I had endless resources available to me (read knowledgeable and experienced Beechcrafters and data). I never knew BT existed. I would say that is true of most of the Beech employees, as well (although I know we have some HBC BT'ers).
