I closed on the plane and hope to pick it up in a few weeks (KGSO) after some paint touchup and the seats recovered.
I'll be getting 5 hours of flight training and 5 hours ground from Carolina Aircraft. Plan to get at least another 5 hours while I'm there.
I am so psyched!! I only have about an hour in a Bonanza (mostly from the demo flight) but I am really impressed on how it flys.
Bought and read most of the books by Mr. Eckalbar. Very informative!!!
Joined BT several months ago and have really enjoyed the process about learning more about the planes.
Look forward to meeting you folks at the next gathering.
Prior to the F33A I've had the pleasure of being the caretaker of:
'69 Cherokee 180
'52 Cessna 170
'07 Cessna Turbo 182
'45 Piper J-3 (still have this one) Hi Buck, I just came across your posting and wanted to introduce myself. I was the second owner of N3389M and you are apparently the fourth. I bought the plane from a physician in Rhode Island. I owned 33M for a few years and routinely few her from Massachusetts to Allentown, VA. And keep her based at Queen City Airport. I sold her and purchased another F33A with a full Garmin radio stack. Great plane. I hope you enjoy flying her as much as I did. I am now based in Richmond, VA and Great Barrington, MA. Hope to meet you some day and welcome to Beechtalk. Jim

Let's see, if I fly out of here in the next couple hours, head straight for Florida, might be able to avoid the Blizzard coming our way. Looks like you might have room in the hangar for a snow birds Bonanza, see you even have a camper for me.
