No, there isn't ONE!

That's about the AVERAGE age of the 207 fleet. They are mostly up in
Alaska going through an engine every year. I buy and sell them.

Having been up there and having seen what they go through I doubt any Beech,
other than an 18, could last as long.

There's one, huh? Anything can be made to last that long. What did it
costs to keep it going all those hours? How often did it break? That's
the difference.

Now you're just going on. Just what part of a 25,000 hr Cessna 207 is
more poorly built than your Bonanza?

The difference between Beech and Cessna/Piper is striking, once you've
owned one. Cessna and Piper do the absolute minimum to keep their
airplanes from falling apart in the air. You pay for that in the Beech
by the fact that it weighs more. But, it will cost me less to own my Bo
than my 182 for those parts that are made by the respective companies,
simply because the Bo was built right in the first place.
