Well it took me a bit to introduce myself here, but I was waiting until I was an official Beech Owner. I have owned a 172, then moved up to a 182. Put a lot of hours on the 182 and loved it but had an opportunity to sell it and start my search for a Bonanza. Finally found the perfect for me.... N3016C a J35, tip tanks, and some other great mods, 430W/155/AP. Having ADSB and a couple other things done now, hope to bring it home within a week.

Todd

Welcome and congrats on the new bo.

Where will you base it?

I usually fly into Mount Hawley once or twice a year from Texas to see family.

I have had a hangar at 3MY for about 6 years. Let me know when you are coming in next time!

Photos coming soon...

Todd,

Welcome to Beechtalk. I hope you enjoy 16C as much as my family and I did. Stop on by any time!
Uh ohh... I think I need to update my Avatar now too...

Andy

I lived in Pekin as a boy. One of my earliest airplane memories is Mt Hawley Aviation advertising flight instruction on TV. I was six years old and certain that I'd never get to fly, even though it was right there in Peoria, home of Bergner's and the only escalator I'd ever seen. It was my introduction to unrequited longing, though I'd had similar feelings about Barbara Feldon. :D

Welcome, Todd!

Happy to see another former 172, 182 owner go the Beech way! I also did it that way and I can predict that you will be delighted with the capabilities and how the Bo flies.

While we get pics, I guess we can admire Andrew's avatar.

Andrew, are you planning to get a replacement?

Rodrigo,

We purchased a Cessna 340 to haul the family around - it seemed to be the best fit for our mission and family, though I do miss N3016C. Hauling 5 on long haul trips and up to 7 (3 smaller kids) on short trips led us to the RAM VII 340 (with a good UL), though we looked at a variety of aircraft... I still have the Long EZ when I need to travel solo or dual for cheap.

Welcome to another member from Illinois. My A&P is located in Pekin, so I am familiar with the area. You will find this site full of knowledge and experience; that even though I don"t aalways let them know, member advice has helped me a ton.

Cheers,

Paul
