The A36 is getting ready to go to a new family and we are going to move into a 2002 Beechcraft Baron B58...

You will love the Baron! One of the most honest planes I have flown. Very good manners even with one engine out!

There's no such thing as 'good manners' when there's one engine out....

It's all relative. Compared to an Aerostar or an A26, the Baron's manners are quite docile! (Yes, I have experienced real time engine outs in all 3. Several other types as well)

WARP TEN · 10-29-2021

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

Bought this 75 a few months ago. 12,000 original miles both tops fully loaded,I think. Slowly coming back to life,this thing is so original it even has the stainless steel license plate frames it left the factory with. My plans: front coil overs in the works,drop the front about 3 inches,drop the rear about 2-1/2 inches. Serious deep clean,detail tge engine compartment. Gut the interior and clean everything before it goes back in the car. This car sat in a garage fir 35 years and basically was forgotten.

Not quite a Corvette (though it parks right next to my ZR-1) - but a friend just last weekend posted a video he made on my other toy, the 1970 Continental Mark III.

Enjoy here some charming German accent and a pastel yellow beauty [emoji6] https://youtu.be/sLzvBjUeY8k
