Hi all,

I just bought my first Bonanza and I'm headed to CA (I live in NJ) to pick it up this week. I used to be in sales for Beechcraft in the Northeast and it's exciting to now own my own Bonanza! I'm now selling for Gulfstream and will mainly use my Bonanza for business trips around the northeast. I never used this site when I worked for Beechcraft in fear of "poaching" customers from here- now very happy to be a Bonanza owner using the site!

Welcome Jenny, what did you buy? And do you have pictures?

(Jenny is an awesome name for a pilot.)

Hi Tracy,

I bought a 1989 A36. It has everything I wanted-updated panel, relatively low time, good engine (I had a cam inspection done prior to pre-purchase), new leather interior, and air conditioning! I don't have photos yet, but when I pick it up I will snap a few and post them! What do you fly?

Sounds like a beautiful bird. Can't wait to see the pictures.

I fly a 1964 S35. Not modern, but fast and cool.

Welcome Jenny! I was hoping you'd eventually pop up here. I saw in the latest AIN issue that you had moved on from HBC to Gulfstream. Congratulations! Sounds like you bought a nice bird. Where in CA are you picking it up from? Going to keep it at TEB or CDW?

There's a few of us "youngins" from here who live in the NYC/NJ area who keep in touch and fly together from time to time. Maybe we can add you to the crew. You'll be the 4th A36. We also grab drinks from time to time in either in the city or Hoboken.

Hope all is well otherwise...

Hey Neal!

Thanks for the warm welcome! Gulfstream is fantastic, though it was tough to leave Beechcraft!

I'm flying the plane home from VNY and will keep it at CDW. I'd love to join the group- flying and drinks are all great with me! Keep me posted (do you still have my yahoo email?) and I'll hope to catch up with you all soon!

Thanks Vince!

I recognize your plane, do you ever fly in and out of NJ?

Jenny,

I actually only have your old HBC email so I'll private message you in a minute for the yahoo one.

Haven't been into NJ yet, but have flown to NY (normally SWF) a couple of times. I'll let you know if I'm headed your way though, and you're welcome anytime in Georgia!
