A friend and nieghbors finally got tired of having his loaded SR22 sitting in warranty centers more than in his hangar(s), he has two. One of them now houses a beautiful late model (2006 or 07 IIRC) TN G36 with A/C and tip tanks. He has joined ABS and I've told him about BT, hopefully he will grace us with photos and a new member post. If so, welcome Bill.

Welcome to a new Bonanza owner, wherever they may have started! I personally have not flown a Cirrus, but never really wanted to fly one. For me, the reputation and factual performance earned by the Bonanzas over years, combined with the legions of owners and great support, made my decision easy. I have a V35 purchased 5 years and 650 hours ago with no regrets. It's all personal, of course, but the Columbia/Cessna and Cirrus planes are a bit too "cutesy" for my taste. I prefer something that has stood the test of time! And getting a tough landing gear out of the way when I'm flying is a fair tradeoff vs. a smaller cabin and flimsy wheels that stay down. Again, just personal preference.

HI Guys & Gals,

I am a new Baron owner. TH2295-N164M. I bought one of the 50th anniversaries in January and have been loving every minute of it. Thanks for welcoming me to the forum and I am looking forward to making some friends and learning from others.

Thanks
