Bought this airplane, spent 2 years restoring her, spent a year loving her, then sold her. This is a video showing the progress, along with the feeling of a flight I made in her.

  • I know your airplane! I fly out of JYO and I'm quite sure I've seen you at MRB and/or other local airports.

  • @jyokid: Could be, if it was almost 3 years ago, that's when I sold her and she went to her new home in North Carolina. Currently driving a BE95

  • It makes me so happy to see the classic paint scheme, instead of the traditional restorations you see with the modern graphics. I'm based out of KOKV, maybe I'll hear you on the radio one day

  • @cwhitty05 : No longer own this airplane, she's based in NC now. I own a BE95 and fly down to Winchester all the time.

  • I know Martinsburg and runway 26. I fly rentals out of there now. Looking for a Bonanza currently. If you're still there and have the time, I'd love to at least see yours and get your opinions on the type.

  • @LagniappesGuy - I am still based at KMRB, and am the Secretary of the North East Bonanza Group. Sold the Bo and am flying a Travel Air. I will be more than happy to visit with you.

  • Perhaps started out polished aluminum and paint trim with E-165 and Beech Roby prop?

  • What kind of approach and touch down speeds do you have?

  • Congratulations! Nice video! I Love Bonanzas! Parabéns !

  • This was my dad's old airplane. My dad ended up selling it after my grandfather passed away and left him his Cessna 170B. This showed up at the airport that we had our Cessna 170B at around a week after we sold it, 20 years or so after owning it in northern Virginia. It was a blast from the past, it certainly looked better than it did when my dad owned it!
