New stuff out of Wichita

Postby The Ruptured Duck » Mon Nov 14, 2005 12:04 am

Today I saw the first two Bonanzas to come out of the factory equipped with G-1000's.  It also appeared that the new G-36's have more room- like a one engined Baron.

Rumor has it Beech is gonna to the BE-58's just like the Bonanzas

So that's why a Bonanza and Baron at the NBAA had glass cockpits and were marked "experimental" ??

That might explain it.  But how does a plane have anything to do with basketball?

Oh yes.  In that case absolutely.

Where was that held at?

NBAA 2005, should have been held in New Orleans, but, gosh, they had to move it to Orlando.

I'll see if I can get to my photos of the two "Experimentals" ...  The instrumentation caught my eye.

They were tucked in behind a line up of 1900s and the myriad of jets the Raytheon has.

I would bring pics of my FBO (KAAO), but I can never get the photo thing to work, and I get annoyed.

I CAP jpg
I have the url right
I have the right type of image

It never works for me

I might end up going to KU in a few years, so then Ill be able to give all the witchita news cause Im going to be studying for a degree in Aerospace engineering.  Hopefully though, Ill get into RPI(Renselaer Polytechnic Institute).  My dads friend went there, and now he is Senior VP of Northrup-Grumman :o
