Just purchased my first Beechcraft product, a 1987 F33A, N3389M!!!
I closed on the plane and hope to pick it up in a few weeks (KGSO) after some paint touchup and the seats recovered.

I'll be getting 5 hours of flight training and 5 hours ground from Carolina Aircraft. Plan to get at least another 5 hours while I'm there.

I am so psyched!! I only have about an hour in a Bonanza (mostly from the demo flight) but I am really impressed on how it flys.

Bought and read most of the books by Mr. Eckalbar. Very informative!!!

Joined BT several months ago and have really enjoyed the process about learning more about the planes.

Look forward to meeting you folks at the next gathering.

Prior to the F33A I've had the pleasure of being the caretaker of:
'69 Cherokee 180
'52 Cessna 170
'07 Cessna Turbo 182
'45 Piper J-3 (still have this one)

Thank you Tyler,

I think your Twin Bonanza with the Airstair is pretty cool!

I'm hoping the F33A will shave some time off by trips between PA and FL.
Flying the Cub, the trucks below on I-95 were passing me.

I flew it from PA to OSH this year for the 75th Anniversary of the J-3.
Did the mass arrival. It was a blast!!!
