This A36 is the rarest combination of flawless aesthetics, meticulous upgrades and enhancements, boosted performance, and modern capability. The airframe and numerous facets have been restored and upgraded professionally by top-notch vendors and with top-tier components — every cosmetic and functional detail executed to the highest standard. The Summit-STC IO-550-R (310 HP) install and Scimitar prop provide strong, reliable performance (180 KTAS @ 7500’!); the D'Shannon tip tanks give exceptional range; the $150K+ Garmin G500 panel brings contemporary situational awareness and avionics redundancy while preserving the classic Bonanza experience; the New AC Services Air Conditioning system provides ultimate comfort; the new interior and paint are center-of-showroom worthy and will stand out against any other Bonanza out there.
This aircraft is hands-down the most extraordinary 1981 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza on Planet Earth — a showroom-quality, no-expense-spared restoration that blends timeless Bonanza pedigree with modern performance, gorgeous appearance and comfort, and a highly capable avionics suite.
This 2-3-owner Bonanza has been is owned and flown by a professional pilot Captain and Check Pilot for a legacy carrier who is also a DPE. The aircraft has been on a Part-135 Certificate (placeholder only - no actual charter ops) as the owner served as the Director of Operations and Check Airman for the Operator's certificate. To bring the plane into stringent Part 135 conformity, numerous Chapter 5 parts and components were recently replaced and/or overhauled. The owner “upgraded” to this aircraft from a Turbo Cirrus and just stepped up to a TBM and is now ready to see his masterpiece Bonanza restoration move into the hands of a new loving owner.

Fresh out of Don Copeland's shop at Arizona Aeropainting, this 4-color work of art from our friends at Scheme Designers is the epitome of eye-catching. All done in layers of high-quality Sherwin Williams paint, watch all the heads turning as you taxi onto the ramp. Colors as follows: JetGlo Matternhorn White with AcryGlo Neptune Blue, Red Pepper, and Mojave Gold trim. Aircraft is hangar-stored in AZ and previously lived in central CA valley - no corrosion!
