I've always thought this was the coolest paint job I've ever seen on a T-Bone
Someone is going to own one Beautiful T-Bone

Thanks Sidney. This is truly a beautiful T-bone. Looks even better in person. We have owned more than a dozen airplanes including two Barons and another Bone. My wife loved the Twin Bonanza the most, the room, the air stair, the quiet slow turning props. We used to park at the Monterey Jet Center among all the turbines, thisT-bone is always the center of attention.

This is an awesome airplane. Just flew mine 3000 NM and 20+ hrs in 4 days without a squawk. I doubt I could have said that about my Baron. Someone is going to get an awesome airplane and you get to hang out with the cool kids at OSH.

Ron,

Beautiful airplane!

I am seriously considering stepping up to a twin from my V-35A and yours would be the ultimate step up.

Wikepedia shows Twinbo wingspan at 45'3, length 31'6", height 11' 4".

Fortunately, my current T-hangar is large with a door openong of 47' x 14'. A tight fit but a fit none the less. Rent is low at $250/mo which I'd like to keep. Corporate hangar rate is double at $550.

Can you post or send a picture of the pilot handbook page that shows dimensions and turn radius?

Thanks.

Fair skies and following winds,
Slow

Thank you Adam. Adam has one of the top Twin Bonanza’s in the country.
“ Slow”. Call me anytime if you want more info on the T-bone. Is ‘Slow’ your mil call sign?

Ron,

Thanks for posting the dimensions. I'm heading out to my hangar on Monday to do some maintenance on my Bo. I'll take a tape measure to check the actual dimensions versus the spec sheet provided by the airport authority.

As to my call sign - I've been called "Slow" since my teens (an easy abreviation of my last name). Kind of an oxymoron as I'm always in trouble for speeding (13 tickets before I was 20, supersonic where I wasn't supposed to be several times). Earned several other callsigns during my Naval Aviation career do to various faux pas' let's say. But "Slow" always stuck.

Fortunate to be flying military aircraft over the past 40 years (18 active duty and 22 as a civilian for the Navy and Air Force - currently an instructor pilot for the USAF training Combat System Officers in the T-1A Jayhawk Beech 400).

My first exposure to GA was my V-35A acquisition in August 2020 to fly my wife of 41 years around. We've had a wonderful time vectoring out of LA (Lower Alabama) to destinations ranging from Key West, Maine, and California. Most recently we went to Jackson Hole WY to meet up with my middle son's family for 8 days in June.

Considering a twin to increase pax and range. Twin Bo cabin adds the "stand to stretch your legs" capability I'm looking for on longer legs. Looking into the portable potty options as well.

My parents and 3 sons and 5 grandkids are visiting this weekend so I'm a little busy. I'll give you a call midweek after visiting my hangar.

Cheers,
Slow

Slow.
I was an Army Aviator-active and Guard- for 22 years. We were not cool enuff to have our own call signs . In todays Army they work very hard to lump aviators in with tankers and truck drivers by everyone wearing the same BDU uni’s-don’t even wear wings anymore. So I really like flying my own airplane where and when I want and the Twin Bonanza is the best plane I ever owned. Unfortunately it is a misunderstood airplane with lots of old wives tales about their geared engines-which are wonderful if you operate them correctly. My wife by the way loved the portable biff behind the last row of seats.

With used 1970’s Cessna 172’s going for the same price as my T-bone which is solid and beautiful, this airplane is a STEAL !. Looking forward to hearing from you.

…and when you come to Oshkosh, you’ll be able to carry lots of stuff!

Own one of the most beautiful Beech classic’s-the rock solid, long range, air stair, KA sized Twin Bonanza is still for sale .For the price of a used 70’s 172 you can own this wonderful airplane with its Avidyne IFD FMS and a brand new Aspen EFD 1000. Reasonable offers for this well cared for flyer entertained.

Slow - Would you be willing to post a story or two about where you were supersonic where you weren't supposed to be over in Plane Talk, please?

Ron - This is a gorgeous Twin Bo!!

Very beautiful - I can see owning one of these in the future... GLWS

SOLD

Congrats and merry Christmas

I suppose I'm due for a profile update and an introductory post in the Twin Bo sub-forum.

I thought it appropriate to add to this thread. I work in the business and happy to share that this was one of the most pleasant transactions I've been a part of thanks to Ron's efforts. He continues to go above and beyond to make this a smooth handoff.

Clearly the aircraft was well cared for under his watch and I feel quite lucky to be the next steward of N28EC.

She will hopefully be heading north next week to her new home in Bellingham, WA
