I am glad to be back in Beech territory.
We bought our Debonair in 2002 flew it for ten years out of our 1300' strip. I decided the margins were too tight so I sold it in 2012 and bought a Maule, I had a bit of fun with the taildragger but decided early this year to sell it. I bought a 182 which is a bit of a project,
I decided after 8 weeks of Cessna ownership that I am not really up for a project.
Sold it with a grand total of 10.5 hours.
Last week I bought back my original Debonair, new prop, top overhaul and for half what I sold it for.
All round, not a bad journey.
I am saddened to hear of the loss of Max Grogan, he was a great help to me when I was trying to shoe horn the Deb into my strip.
My sincere condolences to his family.

Welcome back to the fold! I always loved your videos of operating from your short strip.

Last time we visited Adelaide, a couple of years ago, I was not able to track you down (tight schedule for a family wedding), but I hope to do so next time. Very glad you have a Beechcraft, again.

Welcome
Post some trip pics for us Americans. I bet you see some pretty country. 1300 feet, I wonder if the '47 Bo will do that. I'll have to mark off the local runway and try it.
Cheers
Enjoy the Beech
Mark

Good memory John,

I own 35-C33 SN#898 (hangar queen at the moment) and my stretch Debbie E-776.

Also, please put some pictures/video of operating out of your short strip.
Some of the new guys here on BT will not have seen it.

The 1970's singer? Did you make him feel like dancing?

THAT's what I'm talkin' about!

Looks a lot like heaven to me. Sounds like it, too.
