Hi Folks

Purchased '89 F33A 2 months ago with PM's help! Also assisting John Whitehead, Dan Young, Ric Travis, Steve Brillaud. Details: 1600TT, 250TTE&P IO550NA, GAMI's, mx20, 430W, KFC150, GTX327, PMA8000, Standby Castleberry a/i, interior 8.5, exterior needed buffing.
Upgrades: Garmin 796 hardwired, stainless hardware, spinner and gas caps cleaned/stripped and buffed, single throw yoke, total airplane original paint buffed to luster, painted engine cowl barn doors interior white.

The airplane is a super mission fit for our 4 member family. We felt like rock stars at KDTS when the rental car was sitting next to the block in spot. N390LF replaced an F1 Rocket I built and sold to a fellow Bonanza owner in Aspen Co. I miss the Rocket sometimes, but I guarantee we would miss our kid's youth more if we missed these travel years! Pics too!
Best

Howard,

Welcome to BeechTalk and congratulations on your purchase! Your pictures made my heart beat faster, as your new airplane is a near perfect copy of ours, another 1989 F33A, with the same paint scheme, which came off the assembly line just 7 ships before yours:

We have owned ours since 2006 and continue to be delighted with this amazing machine.

Hi Drew

They look like twins! Yours looks like it is immaculate. Ours is based at KNQA.

This is a nice forum. Its members are civil and well informed. It has been a pleasure lurking and learning. I particularly want to thank Paul McCracken for his guidance/pre -buy.

Howard,

By chance are you related to a Howard Rhodes that was last living in MI, a former Sun Country 727 pilot? I'm sure you're not old enough to be him.....
