Latitude Aviation is proud to bring to market N107H, which is a 1966 Beechcraft C55 Baron. N107H is owned by a BeechTalk member and is based in Colorado Springs at KCOS. The owner is a retired airline pilot and has owned the plane for 18 years. It has been almost exclusively maintained by Kirk Pearce of Pearce Aircraft Service (which is a highly-respected Beechcraft shop) since he bought the plane.

N107H has 7703 total time and 1146 SMOH and SPOH. It is incredibly light at 3404 pounds and has a monster useful load of 1896 pounds.

It has a really nice panel with an STEC 3100 digital autopilot, Aspen PFD, dual GNS 480's, NGT 9000 transponder, G5 back-up PFD, and PMA 8000BT audio panel. Its vacuum system has been removed so it is all-electric.

Other nice upgrades include the large baggage door, propeller deice system, GAMIjectors, co-pilot brakes (very rare on this vintage Baron), and an LED lights for the landing lights and taxi light.

The paint and interior's condition is consistent with its age (24 years old) and there are lighy cosmetic hail dimples on the top of the wing and control surfaces.

The damage history that I identified when going through the logbooks include evidence of a nose gear collapse in 1974, a new RH elevator in 1979, and a replaced RH wingtip, inboard gear door, and belly repair in 1983.

This is a wonderful C55 Baron and is ready for a new home. I have pasted a detailed spec sheet below along with a Dropbox link that will take you to a folder with the logbooks, high resolution photos, 337 file, and W&B information. Please email or call any time to discuss N107H. Thank you!

As a plug for this aircraft, I personally flew it in the early 80's for almost 1000 hours. It then had full boots and 2 blade alcohol props. My point here is that it is surely still plumbed for de-ice boots in the wings and tail if you want to add de-ice capability back in (not sure why anyone takes them off). Looks like you will have to add back in the vacuum pumps that were removed though.

Thank you Kurt! That is really cool and I appreciate the post and the history. Interestingly, I also just got an email from someone whose father owned the plane in the early 70's. Check out what he wrote me:

"I noticed the sale listing in BeechTalk for 107H and couldn’t restrain myself from telling you about the memories that it brings back. My father owned this airplane (Lemmon Aircraft Co) in the early 70’s, and I got to use it for my multi-engine rating in the spring of 70. Then I spent that summer flying 107H on a weather modification research contract with the college that I was attending. Best job I ever had – I loved that airplane. We also used it for some long-distance family trips. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!"

To hear from 2 people with a long time connection to a plane I am selling is really incredible.
