BeechTalk - BT - New Baron Owner- NY Area

Hi Everyone-

My name is Mike Saltzman. I've been a pilot 11 years now (since I was 18) and grew up flying in my dad's A36. I bought my first plane, a great RV and flew it 300 hrs over the last few years, and just this month traded up to a great, highly upgraded Baron 55. I now have 15 hours in it and am loving every minute! I'm based in New York (LDJ Airport) and out at HTO on the east end of long island.

Please say hello! This forum was a fantastic resource as I was going through the learning and purchase process, I am grateful to now be able to contribute.

Mike

Hi Michael,

You're going to love your 55. We are all over the country with my wife, two dogs, and clothes for a week, full fuel and still under gross weight. That's in a B-55. I feel very safe taking my family at night and in IMC.

We're near Philadelphia. Let us know if you are down this way.

Hi Mike, you won’t be disappointed with the B55. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you push the throttles forward. Stay current and fly safe!

B55 is a great airplane. Welcome to the club.

Nice to see another NYC pilot with a Beech. I keep an A36 at CDW, and use it quite a bit for family transportation with my wife and two little kids. Holler if you want to play safety pilot sometime, your plane or mine.
