guess if you hear about traffic but do not see it, you should assume it is
right where you can't see it rather than safely away from you. Just
speculation, of course.

You have to wonder what are the chances? I can go weeks without even seeing a
V-tail Bonanza. That guy can't land without seeing one on his roof. Was that
the annual meeting of the Sante Fe V-Tail Association?

It all depends on where you fly from. My airport only rents Pipers and Cessnas.
If you want to fly Beechcraft, you need to go to Monroe. They've got plenty of
them. Personally, I've never even flown a Bonanza. The only Beeches I've ever
flown was the T-34B and the B-76 Duchess.

I own and fly a Bonanza V35B. That was the lame attempt at a joke.

Understood. I've flown probably a couple of dozen types over the years. It's a
wonder that I never got around to flying a Bonanza... then I started to think
about why. The Monroe, NC airport is very active and by all reports a fine
facility that emphasizes Beech products. It's just further than I wanted to
drive when I had the Rock Hill, SC airport only about 25 minutes from the
house.... and they rented Piper and Cessna.

As for my former employers, I flew what they gave me. It just never ended up
being Beechcraft... probably because they were more expensive to acquire.

But I knew you were up to no good. G
