Hi,

My name is Wes Conrad and I just purchased my first 1976 Baron B55 TC-1993. I am in San Diego based at Gibbs Flying Service at KMYF.

I have been lurking for a while on this site as I thought I would get a Bonanza but after two single engine Cessnas I decided twin spin was the way to go and found a really great plane in my neighborhood.

I enjoy all the great info and lively discussions on here and hope to be a part of the Beechcraft community.

Cheers,

WJC

Welcome Wes :clap: :clap: :clap:

I don't think you have enough glass in your Baron, let me hold some of it for you :lol: :lol:

And remember, "there's no spin in the twin" at least that's what my MEI is fond of saying :shrug:

Welcome aboard!

Mike

Thanks, I know everyone here loves this stuff

IO-470s 350 SMOH, G&N
Factory new props, hubs, governors 2009
New interior, paint and much airframe work in '09 as well

Now with Rick Lucia at Cruiseair getting the landing gear just right.

Next week is Neal Avionics for GTN 650s. Yes, I will post the pics. Garrett Neal did a GTN750 in my 182T turbo. Its niiiiice. But no need for 750 in this aircraft.

Will do G4 engine monitor and GAMIs at annual in September.

Love CSOBeech! Keep up the good work.

Congrats and welcome. Very nice Baron. We frequent KMYF quite often and use Gibbs when we're in town. Great FBO with great service.

Rick
