Description

This Beechcraft Bonanza F33A has logged just over 2,000 hours of flight time. The engine was top-overhauled in 2024 with six new cylinders, and the avionics were comprehensively modernized in 2022 which brought this bird up to current state-of-the-art standards. In combination with the auxiliary fuel tanks, this F33A offers an exceptional range of applications thanks to its blend of high cruise speed (155 170 KTAS), large fuel capacity (450 liters), exceptional long range capabilities (9 hours), impressive payload, spacious cabin, and very short takeoff and landing distances. The avionics in combination with the typical smooth and stable beech-characteristics make both longer IFR and VFR flights a pleasure. Both the exterior and interior cosmetic condition, as well as the technical condition, are very good. No known damage history.
