field" because it will drop like a stone.
This is the classic small private plane of all time. From it's first flight
in December 1945 till the end of production in 1985, 10,000 V-tails were built
and it changed very little. It carried four or five passengers and was noted
for its good useful load of 1415 pounds and very high speed due to its
excellent streamlining. It's range with extended tanks (80 gallons total)
was 1110 miles and several modified Bonanzas set remarkable records for range.
It was very solidly built and very comfortable, and safety was an initial
design consideration, remarkable for 1945. It's owners loved the plane.
Its V-tail was unusual but very efficient, providing less weight and drag
than the standard T-tail, and operating equally as well. One of it's nick-
names was the "V-tail doctor killer" because so many doctors (one of the few
classes of individuals who could afford this relatively expensive plane) would
exceed their abilities in it. This was no reflection on the airplane.
I have never flown the Bonanza, but I have checked out in the T-34, which
is a derivative of the Bonanza. For me it was quite a step up from the Cessnas
and Piper Cherokees I'd been flying. It was very solid, stable, smooth, and
positive on the controls, and a real blast to fly. Once I went on a ride with
a Beechcraft salesman who was demonstrating the Bonanza to a customer. I was in
the back seat. It was nothing special until the salesman asked the customer if
he wanted to see a roll. That caught my attention, as did the roll. I was
impressed. Guess that's why they made it into a T-34. My dream since then has
been to own a Bonanza. It's still a dream. The new sex machine now seems to
be the Aerospatiale Trinidad, but they have to go some to beat the quality
of the Bonanzas.
