With the arrival of Beechcraft’s V-tail Bonanza, the general aviation market changed significantly. Suddenly there was an airplane available that allowed business people and families to travel long distances much faster than they could in other light aircraft of the period.

Today the early V-tails’ performance remains impressive and offers buyers a lot of speed and carrying capacity, often at an economical price. The aircraft for sale today can be an ideal vehicle for buyers interested in speedy travel and, perhaps, seeking to capture some of the glamor associated with general aviation during the 1950s and ’60s.
