Description

1949 Beechcraft A35 Bonanza - The Airplane That Started It All - $58,500 Before glass panels... before autopilots... before flying got complicated-there was the Bonanza. This 1949 Beechcraft A35 Bonanza (N715RG) is a true piece of aviation history-the airplane that set the standard for speed, efficiency, and style. And unlike most classics, this one hasn't been flown into the ground. With just 2,801.95 hours total time, this is an exceptionally low-time airframe for an early Bonanza. Straight, clean, and hangared, it still carries the unmistakable lines that made Beechcraft famous. Under the cowl, a Continental engine with 811.69 hours since major overhaul runs smooth with solid temps and pressures. It's a dependable, mid-time setup ready to keep flying-not sitting in a museum. Slide into the cockpit and you'll find exactly what flying is supposed to feel like: No screens. No clutter. Just you, the airplane, and the sky. The classic analog panel and throw-over yoke deliver that raw, connected flying experience-but you're not locked into the past... This aircraft also comes with BOTH a single (throw-over) yoke AND a dual yoke setup, giving you the flexibility to configure it your way-whether that's solo cross-country flying or training a new Bonanza pilot. This isn't a trailer queen. It's an honest, well-kept Bonanza-perfect as: A weekend cruiser A time-building machine Or a killer platform for a modern panel upgrade We don't just sell you the airplane-we help you fly it. Transition training available Nationwide ferry service available Aircraft is located in Texas and ready for its next owner. Pre-buy inspections welcomed.
