1956 G35 N4405D, Jim Greene, Moravia, NY - May 01, 2008
Bonanza of the Month

While I was flying my 1963 Skyhawk over the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia back in 1972, I had a life-changing experience. An air traffic controller at Dulles departure warned me, "A V-tail Beechcraft Bonanza will overtake you on your starboard side." When it passed, my eyes feasted on the prettiest sight I had ever seen in the air.

 

I fell in love with Zero-Five-Delta on the flight home to Cortland, New York. I had a tail wind all the way at 174 knots ground speed. I found there are more headwinds than tail winds, even with the Bonanza. – Jim Greene
