REFLECTOR: Velocities are great... but

[Chris Barber]

Funny you mention this.  Three weeks ago a buddy and I flew up to his airpark second home in Holly Mountain Arkansas in his Bonanza.  This is the B36T IIRC, we put a 3/4 full size in the back along with his daughter who we were dropping off at school in College Station, Texas.  He told me a few months earlier he used the plane to take a four wheeler up there too. Even though he is building an RV-7 he dug at me about the Velo not being quite as useful for hauling.  Of course that big ol' turbo of his is thirsty.



BTW, it was a great trip which included a day at the Beech factory in Kansas working on the prototype Bonanza and Baron.  Sweeet.

Kurt,
We love our canard-pushers cause they're fast and efficient. However no one can deny the old spam cans are very utilitarian, and not unlike a flying light duty pickup truck. I put the C210's in the category of full 1/2 ton flying pickup as they and similars are used as such world-wide.
Great pics, thanks. Where are you in NM?

Ok, so it is kind of slow tonight. Too cold in the hangar after work to get much done.

This weekend I flew down to Santa Teresa NM to pick up a Christmas present for my 8 year old boy. (They have a great aviation museum down there by-the-way).

I have decided that even once the Velocity is completed & flying, I will keep the world's oldest Cherokee 235. Not just for nostalgic reasons, but because this thing is a Great Truck!..

See below:)
