Hello,

I'm interested in hearing from people who have 'real' first-hand
knowledge of the true costs of owning an older (early 50s) V-tail
Bonanza.

When I was living in Houston, I used to hang out with our mechanic quite
a lot - he often worked on Bonanzas of all vintages. They didn't seem to
cost their owners more than comparable aircraft from other
manufacturers.

Raytheon has done a damn good job keeping parts available for the Bo; wish I
could have said the same regarding Cessna for the T210 I used to own.
