Sounds like you are getting a newer Baron. They have been around for a long time. The last time I rode in a Beech Baron was the summer of 1967 in Vietnam. Flying with construction consortium RMKBRJ's president to tour airbases there. Two Barons carrying civilian and military people. Guy was an ex-Korean war jet pilot. Flying from Saigon to Nha Trang, contrary to company rules, he overrode the pilot and took the controls. Tired of flying at 3,000 feet he dropped down and followed the roads for a while. A Navy LT in the back almost got sick (said he hated small planes anyway). When we stopped in Nha Trang for a bathroom break, the Navy LT got out of our plane, went right over to the other one and strapped himself in. Enjoy the Baron--it is a great airplane.--Bob
