I used to do inspections on small Beeches in the 80's. It never ceases to amaze me how good an old well maintained airplane never shows its age...almost like stepping back in time.
Congratulations on the Bonanza. I flew one of those in 1961 to satisfy the "complex aircraft" requirement to get my commercial. Dad had a 1958 Skylane back then... a fun and practical family airplane. I miss those days. The Bonanza will be a fine family airplane for you. You'll need a helicopter next in your airplane stable. Happy Landings!
Juan, Thank You for taking us along. I used to work as a Flight Medic on a Twin Beech Bonanza Air Ambulance in SoCal. , but I don't fly any more, I've walked away from two air crashes - one Fixed Wing & one Rotary - so I'm not going to tempt Fate.
Good ol' airplane (Airworthiness Date 1956-02-03). My brother had flown many of those in his many years of flying. He also flew for Slick Airways and I believe when with them he flew "Connies". I remember him taking us up in one of these planes way back in the 1960's. As always, love your videos.
I learned something again watchin' ya Juan! I've watched the Air Guard C-130's doing big circular approaches to the airport here in Reno for years. I always marvel at the steep bank angles they use here a lot. I just told myself that is a "combat approach". Now I understand more of why, thanks!!
Juan, Your explanation of a military approach reminded me of how we went into hot LZs in a huey, nearly 50 years ago. Right over the LZ, reduce power (lower collective), pull back to 60 knots, then turn into a tight 60 degree bank. Usually a couple of rotations and we were doing a cyclic flare in the last 270 degrees of turn. Just a touch of collective at the end for a smooth landing or enough to hover. The main point was, if we had lost the engine during the approach, we were still going to land in the LZ. I love watching your approaches. Constant adjustment, keeping the aircraft where you want it to be.
Lots of comments on audio. I could hear everything you were saying...just had to turn it up a little. Last time I checked, you were doing this on your own time for free. 🙊 I appreciate you taking me up for a ride "virtually". Always enjoyable to have a birds eye view. Felt like I was a parrot on your shoulder, Captain.
GREAT video! Can tell you've been flying a long time - smooth landing, even in the winds! Also, the first time I've ever seen an AV gas pump nozzle, & fueling. :)
Juan you have such a great way of putting things across! Whether talking bikes or flying planes, I can listen to you all day. Would give my eye teeth to fly with you in that beautiful Bonnie. Stay safe and looking forward to your next Max 8 & 9 update.
That brought back memories! I used to fly Bonanzas (more correctly; Debonaires) ... took my CFI checkride in one (no throw-over yoke and no passenger side brakes). That was a C-33 model. I love how they fly! And I love watching your flying videos!

Fine looking

Appreciate the education on the military approaches. Your sky Cadillac looks to be in great shape. Thanks for the video.
I always enjoy your teaching and experiance videos, you are a natural teacher Juan. keep on keeping on.

Nice video Juan... I am a big fan of your aerial themed videos. Thanks for sharing! :)
Love that Beechcraft Cadillac! Very bumpy and fun to see! Thank you Juan! 🇺🇸
Enjoyed this one, Juan. That view out thru the vent window with your shadow on short final is neat! Bonanzas look cool with gear and flaps down!

I live real close to ABQ and see many planes. Haven't seen a Bonanza in ages. Nice to see that a few are still up there. Great ride along, Thanks!

Juan, thanks for the great flight vid in the Bonanza. What a great airplane.

good job showing us the landing and all

I own a 1960 V-Tail Bonanza, I love it. I enjoyed your video and look forward to watching more.
