“This airplane needed everything. Nothing in really bad shape per se, but it was old and deteriorated, simply not up to its potential. At first, I thought I could run it for 100 hours or so to determine what I wanted to do to it, but after only 10 hours, it became clear: I wanted to do everything. . .  

. . . A B55 is fast, efficient, will actually fly on one engine and it is in my mind a pure pilot's aircraft. I have enjoyed every minute of flying it. I am totally convinced this is possibly the best model of Beech there is…for me”. – Sam RodriguezWW.BONANZA.ORG
