For the Hangar Beside the Jet: A 1987 Bonanza A36 Brought Up to Date

Flying has singled out a 1987 Beechcraft Bonanza A36 among its featured listings, an airframe that has been refreshed in the cabin, on the exterior and across the instrument panel. Those three items are the ones that date a late-eighties single most visibly, and the seller has addressed all of them rather than leaving the next owner to do it. With six seats, the airplane is set up to carry a family rather than a pilot and a bag. For an owner whose turbine handles the long legs, a piston single like this one covers the short hops that never justify spooling up the jet.
