Welcome Dave! And to add to the others, Thanks for your service!  It's not said enough. To mirror the above. Yes, we can help your bore a hole in your wallet. Seeing the panels, upgrades, and whatnot that others have done will always make you feel inferior and create the disposition that kids can work for their college education so you could buy a new flight display. This is a great resource for keeping up your flying knowledge for Bonanza drivers. Granted, all the opinions are not certifiable and sometimes you'll get varying points of view, but it keeps your head in the game if you regularly participate. Someone with your background and experience will likely have much to offer us civilian pilots, but I think you'll be surprised on what this place can offer you. I have nowhere near the experience that you do - I've learned more here from the members than I've learned from any other resource. We have A&Ps here as well - some darned great ones. They can give you insight when something is questionable. Many owners on this board will try to sell here before listing it elsewhere, or will at least prefer to sell it here. So if a V35 is what you're looking for, check in regularly to see what is available. With over 10k members here, some are bound to keep their eyes/ears out there for you. Lastly, when you do think you've found the perfect Vtail, the membership here can help to direct you to a good local A&P to do a thorough independant prebuy.

For that kind of money you can get a really nice S35-V35A. My V35A with 30SMOH GNS 530 and C2000 AP was 90K...... Good luck Jay.. Thanks for your sevice....

Dave, you will be able to get a really nice S35-V35B with that budget.
Flown into MEI many times, may have even talked to you if you ever fueled or briefed at Meridian Aviation.
OH, Go Air Force!

Thanks for the warm words, Todd, but I have no delusions when it come to GA knowledge. I have very little experience with it, so its great to come across a forum like this with such high quality individuals in it. I really appreciate the warm welcome and look forward to learning more about the bonanza from you folks! Dave
