Well, I saw a White 1961 A33 listed in trade a plane, had a prebuy performed, had the main spar A.D. completed and closed the deal. Flew it home on Friday. What a beautiful airplane. 260 h.p., tip tanks, aux tanks and of course mains. Everything cept' the engine is factory. I am not sure, need to get the correct manual and POH, but I think this thing will carry close to 110 gallons of fuel and two adults. Wow!! Looking forward to cleaning it up with a new interior, newer panel and all the correct placards and markings. In addition, I am thankful for all the good people in this forum. I know I will be calling on the 100's of thousands of hours of experience available here. This place is awesome. Jeff

Hi Jeff, Congrats on your new bird. Pics or it didn't happen  With all that gas in all those tanks, I'd encourage you to get intimately familiar with the fuel system and management of same. Where does excess fuel return when you are burning from each particular tank and such are pitfalls that have befallen many new Beechcraft owners of the earlier birds with complex fuel systems. Enjoy! Mike

Without further delay, here are pictures of N483T. I have been cleaning up the squawk sheet. Installed a working aileron trim (Thanks Randy @ Airmech. Inc), and bolted the left aileron on correctly (Thanks Chris @ Maintenance Express). This airplane is turning into a really great flyer!!! Another 8 hours of dual, and I am going to be free to start visiting friends...  Jeff
