I have been looking for a Mooney M20F and a few Vintage 35's made their way on to my iMac screen. Now I am obsessed with finding the perfect Bonanza that won't break the bank and trying to learn everything I can about them.

I have 600 plus hours in a Grumman Tiger and Cheetah and a few 100 in Cherokees and Cessnas. Only a few hours in complex, so I think a nice vintage Bonanza would be the perfect time machine for this Vero Beach lad.

Ready to learn and open to suggestions on excellent Bonanza instructors on the east coast of Florida. And of course, let me know if you have a lead on a great vintage Bonanza.

Well.....I have flown the Bonanza and Baron (currently have a Baron 58). Also have turbine time (Meridian, Commander 840, TBM). The most "fun" for me outside of "low, slow and floats" is the Mooney. Like driving a hot Porsche! Not as nice for passenger comfort or luggage but a great flying aircraft. Depends on your "mission". Great to have an option.

Welcome Jose! Keep an eye on the BT For Sale - Aircraft forum. There are usually some very nice aircraft listed there.

Welcome and good luck on your search!

Jose,
My son has a 1949 A35 that I bought 20 odd years ago.
He does not really want to sell it but life events dictate some lifestyle changes. He is exAirTran based in Atlanta, now being relocated by Southwest. Additionally, as a National Guard aviator he is soon to go on his second deployment to the Mid East. Thank You ISIS. On top of that he is a newly wed whose bride attorney came with a huge student loan bill.
This is a very well equipped airplane with a lot of good times and flight hours behind it.
It is not a perfect plane, it has some hail damage, but still shows well.
For 35 grand it is a great airplane. If need be I will finance half for five years.
Son will be in Dallas for the rest of March, but then would be ablebto show the plane
Pm me for contact info.

If your looking for a instructor pilot I have plenty of time in Bonanza S35, BU35, F33A & V35 as a charter pilot Part 135 and IP. If you looking for Baron training I'm qualified in BEA55 and the BE58. If you want Mooney training I can help with the 201 Ranger, 20J, 20K and 301 Lean Machine. The Mooney 20K is great for crossing the Rocky Mountains and can take you from California to Florida in about 11 hours of flight time, she has nasal oxygen, like flying a Corvette at 18,000 feet. I also familiar with Vero Beach airport was a instructor there in the 1990s. WBarry@Aerospacesandt.com if you need training.
