Hello BeechTalk!
My name is John, and I’m a new BT member in the Chicago suburbs. After 5 years of Beech Sierra ownership my family found that we needed more airplane. As luck would have it… I found myself in the right place and time to be able to bring this new (to us) Bo into our family! We are the proud new owners of a 1981 A36 that I think we will have for a long time. The previous owner did a lot of thoughtful upgrades with the panel as well as a BDS IO-550 STC. It has the GW increase with BDS as well.
I find myself still pinching myself that this airplane is in our hangar. I don’t think that will stop any time soon either. After many years of flying other airplanes both bigger and smaller, I can’t believe I never flew a Bonanza until I owned one! I’ll be honest that i didn’t “get it…” until I did!
I look forward joining more events and activities with this great community as well as ABS and others (when work and my little kiddos aren’t kicking my butt)! I’m looking forward to continued learning, and also enjoying this incredible community of people.
Ok ok, where’s the pic already?
