I was a demo, ferry and delivery pilot for a Bellanca dealer based out of Peachtree DeKalb back in the early 70s. I flew the various Viking models and, in 1973, bought a Bellanca Turbo Viking. I flew it all across the US and the Caribbean in nearly any weather you can think of. It was a rock-solid IFR platform, fast and fuel efficient with long legs and built like a brick house. At the time there was a Bellanca Viking on the airshow circuit with a guy doing acrobatic manuevers with a stock (except for the smoke generator) Viking. He was followed up by a young lady doing the same routine. Maintenance was simple (except for the hydraulic gear pump) and very reasonable. I could fly circles around any Bonanza for a fraction of the cost. A great airplane in every element.

This flight could have benefited from sterile cockpit. It is not as common in GA but airliners practice it every flight. It helps prevent unnecessary excess chatter in the cockpit. Also, the guy in back should know that the cockpit is not a good classroom. Skip was providing good guidance but the guy in back had no place talking as much as he did. Two captains in a cockpit is a dangerous cockpit.

When I sold Bellancas back in the 1970s we had a demo of two small sections of a wing on a Bonanza and a Bellanca. Took at 1" metal ball to simulate hail and dropped it from about a foot. Big dent in the Bonanza and bounced off the Bellanca piece without a mark. Bellanca was built stronger ... another item was a picture of the Kilgore Rangerettes seated on the wings. 8 on each wing. Just an honest, strong aircraft.
