The Fastest Doctor Killer - Modified Bonanza V35

[@jeffs.8851]

I love the professionalism of this pilot.. head on a swivel, checklists, avoiding traffic, alert but calm and focused. Brings the same attention to flying a single prop as I'm sure he does flying airliners and F-18's. Respect!

The way he takes off, levels out over the runway, gains some speed, then peels off.... Definitely a fighter guy

[@harpoon_bakery162]

crazy right, he did not rotate normally, he came off the runway just a bit and stayed there like if there was a down-force at all it would have taken the plane right back down into the runway. so you're right, he had no worries and is a gunslinger.

[@tomibach9712]

a fighter pilot can eject if he needs to, this guy needs to climb as per the flight manual while he still has engine power...altitude is great potential energy, speed, not so much in a low energy state

Very cool Video! I love the V tail Bonanza. many years ago I used to fly with a friend who then owned N3731N which was made in 1947. My friend spent a summer doing many upgrades on the old bird. I was a student pilot at the time and just walked up and got to know him and started helping out. The friendship was formed and we had many great weekend flying adventures over the next couple years. He ended up having to move out to the west coast due to work. I still have many fond memories of the flights and good times in that beautiful plane. I can remember a couple times were the pucker factor hit the top of the scale. Thankfully we were able to have a few nervous laughs after the situations were handled properly. It looks like N3731N is in upstate New York now. Don I hope you are still out there somewhere and life is treating you well.

[@rickrickard2788]

It was so cool to hear Paul, out here in my state of Colorado, run his past life checklist, and mention drawing planes and all. That is exactly what I used to do myself. I wanted so badly to join the CAP when we lived in Littleton. I used to spend most of my free time, out at the small, private airports, cleaning things up, and trying to learn as much as I possibly could. Then my pop's got transferred to CA...(a nightmare for myself, because Colorado will always be my home), and so many things changed. While I did eventually end up in the US Air Force, and while I still messed around with simulators now and again, I was never able to realize my dream of being a pilot. However, that's just the way life is for some of us. It's truly great to see those, who DID get to make their dreams a reality, and, it appears that Paul has been able to take full advantage, of both his talent, knowledge, and good breaks- and live the dream that so many of us will never be able to. Great show. I've always loved the V-tail, since it first came out- so, for me, this was just a wonderful, all-around show. Thanks so much for sharing this.

It looks like the original paint was recreated. I love the old paint schemes. They remind me of the way the muscle cars looked back in the 60s. I recall in the late 70s I was a grad student and worked part time as a CFI at DuPage Co. airport (DPA) about 30 miles west of Chicago. Back then Dupage Aviation the largest Beechcraft dealer in the midwest U.S.A. Occasionally, my boss Joe Boyd would fly me in his Baron to the Wichita Beechcraft factory so that I could bring back brand new Bonanzas to Chicago. The engine time on each airplane was no more than 3 hours on the tach before I departed the factory. Most Bonanzas had bare bones steam gages in them because the buyers wanted to add on their own after purchase. But every once in a while they were pretty well equipped, some with Bendix autopilots. I recall the trips home took about four to five hours from the Beech factory to DuPage Co. Airport. Those were peaceful and solo flights. Great memories for an old guy now as a 26 year old kid. Thanks Joe Boyd wherever you are.

[@tinlizzie37]

Hi Paul, You have a fine Bonanza. When I was flying, I was a proud owner of a 1948 35 Bonanza SN 1025, or was it Been a lot of years ago, when I was much younger. My poor 35 was had a 180 Continental in it, and only at take off. I'm sure the "Killer" killed a few doctors and others, not because of the plane, but most pilots flying them, had their heads in the clouds, or were not very good pilots. I bought mine in New Jersey and never had any experience with a Bonanza nor any plane with retractable landing gear. It was very nice on the controls and I would find out how easy it was to land, after flying for an hour heading to North East Ohio, and running into a stationary front over Pa. I shot a few touch and goes, and wondered where I was going to sleep that night. All worked out and I flew home safely, without any problem. I also has a Stearman (actually two) but not at the same time, and a Republic See-Bee for a few years. I was mostly an airport bum, going there right after work and spending the weekend flying, I just loved it so much. I also used to draw airplanes as a child, but that was during the 2nd WW. I'm 82 and haven't flown in many years, but sure miss it a lot. The airports are no where close to active now than when I learned how to fly in 1963-64. Good luck with your fantastic airplane and be safe! Bob

I was there when you guys filmed this. My flight school is in the building behind the interview. If you’re ever in APA again give me a shout!

[@kfleming]

I had a B36TC and now have a NA F33-A. One of the subtle details of high altitude flight in the turbo Bonanza was a POH requirement to reduce maximum cruise speed by 3KIAS per 1000 feet above 16,000'. It was related to mach effects over the wing and airframe. Not sure if this aircraft has the power to cruise above that limitation, but it could be a factor in high speed descent. I never was very comfortable flying above 18K, mostly related to the short time of useful consciousness if there was a malfunction with the oxygen system. It also requires either a throat microphone or a mask with microphone. Both were difficult to find/incorporate into headphones. Nice video- thanks

thejamer5280 My son is also working on PPL

[@padsliderfranco9561]

thejamer5280 If you ever need help feel free to contact me. I have an extensive simulator setup and can help on PPL or instrument especially.

[@thejamer5280]

@@padsliderfranco9561 Will do. The goal is to be ready for my check ride by August.

"I just took a bird strike a week ago", he says nonchalantly... lol

[@jonthepilot6924]

@Alex Taylor There's a difference between being calm and cool under pressure in flight and having to deal with the result of a bird strike on your expensive and precious airplane once you're on the ground and talking about it after-the-fact.

[@jonthepilot6924]

@Alex Taylor You're clearly a troll nut (as if the caps didn't make that obvious enough). I am an FAA certificated private pilot (for obvious reasons I will not share my certificate number and personal information) and I'm currently working on my instrument rating. I've been flying for 5 years with about 250 hours. I'm not a professional, and I have never claimed to be one, but I am in fact a pilot. I really don't understand why you care and why you're attacking me.

[@jonthepilot6924]

@Alex Taylor If you would like to speak with the FAA, look up "FSDO" on google and find your local office. Call them up and have a conversation. They're usually nice people. Hell, maybe they'll even get you some help before you hurt yourself or, God forbid, someone else.

[@peterp.6613]

Clearly the deadpan and nonchalant manner isn't working for you, is it Alex? Wow.

[@jonthepilot6924]

@Alex Taylor The FAA calls me a pilot and that's good enough for me. :)

[@goldfish8196]

You can tell Paul is a PRO.

[@erwinb3412]

Wauw , what an aeroplane . Makes one really feel alive . For some a reality , for most people just a dream .

[@dmimcg]

Awesome plane- it even has seat belt signs. cool.

[@padsliderfranco9561]

D Moore That was so funny.

[@gtr1952]

Good one Bobby! Also liked your story and comments on the overseas airline and the MAX debacle. I was thinking the same thing, sad situation.

[@DISOPtv]

Nice video! Great looking plane! I did my first cross country up to Frontrange and back down to Meadow Lake!

[@sigmamale7241]

That's a clean bird! Seems to be VERY quiet in the cabin too!

[@rex669]

Awesome video! Don't be afraid to do some stalls and stuff and maybe slow flight. Show us a little bit how the plane handles, be kinda neat for us that ever never flown a Bonaza to see its unique characteristics.

[@zerotreedelta]

They're not remarkably different from other aircraft in that regard - like anything else, if done while uncoordinated, it'll get more "sporty". kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH3EpI2GZteLosU
