So here I was, ...me and two fairly new Bonanzas on the airpark, and both from the United States. One with extended range tip tanks and one without......here is the long range version, as I saw it........

First a total shot .......


On this rear quarter shot, you can see a small black patch just above wing walk at the trailing edge of the wing.......


This is that same patch......The manufacturer ID plate.....


Rear end, showing the Fin, Rudder, Horizontal Stab, Elevator, and pitch trim tab, along with static discharge bars and rear marker beacon.....


This shot shows, with a fine eye, some turbulator strips on the lead edge, and the pronounced washout towards the tip tank ( reduced wing incidence )


.........and the front looks like this......photogs shadow and all  


Finally, the McCauley constant speed prop, and shiny spinner...........

Very nice Ken. This has given me ideas for when I next venture on to the airfield.

PS. For some reason I still prefer the old V-tail Bonanza.

We have one at Shoreham but it's based on t'other side of the airfield. It flies regularly but I have yet to catch it at the pumps or within range of a decent shot. There is also a nice little Aviat Husky that seems a tad shy. Some aircraft seem to do all they can to avoid me. Never mind, I shall persevere.

Photos like that are modellers's dream!

Aha !.........someone understands what goes on at small airparks, where there is an honour system for paying for your tie-down space overnight........the fee here, is $5 for each space/night.........drop it in the supplied envelope at the fuel hut.........

Good eye 

beautiful shots ken
