1958 Bonanza Model J
Asking Price: $115,000.
For over a decade, I've been the proud owner of an aircraft that embodies the joy of flight, reliability, and a spirit of adventure. Now in my 70s, and despite maintaining a flawless safety record, I find myself grappling with insurance premiums that have risen over 50% – a testament to the times, not the pilot.
Prior to me owning the aircraft it was based out of Arizona. Its pristine airframe reflects the meticulous care it has received throughout its life, belying its years.
This is not just any plane. It's an instrument-rated cross-country voyager I've meticulously upgraded over the years. It’s been a reliable companion on numerous adventures, a testament to engineering that delivers both power and grace in equal measure.
However, there comes a time in every pilot's life when they must pass the torch, and sadly, that time has come for me. This decision wasn't made lightly; in fact, it's one of the most challenging I've made in recent years.
Don't miss out on the chance to own, a well-maintained, upgraded, and corrosion-free airplane.
