Buying a Bonanza A36TC Sight Unseen and Flying It 2200 Miles Home!

- We bought another Beechcraft Bonanza! We just purchased this 1979 A36TC sight unseen out of Florida, and proceed to fly it home 2200 miles in just 24 hours! We have bought two other Bonanza F33A’s so this makes our third Bonanza. This flight lasted 17 hours, a far cry from the few hour flight in our recently acquired Cessna Citation 501SP last video. What mods or upgrades should we do to this plane? Avionics? New paint, interior, engine?

As an airline captain that hasn’t been in a small airplane in 25 years, I really enjoy your videos. Someday, I’d like to get back into GA again. Thanks for sharing.
You should! Thanks for the comment!
When you decide and if you’re in Cali. I will pay you to instruct me if I don’t already have one by then
@@JRAviationthat Cessna plane fly’s like 20200 miles from airspeed so awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I couldn’t understand why you guys always irritated me. Then just now I realized that I would loved to have spent my youth doing what you are doing in your youth. In college in the late sixties, early seventies, I used to fly taking flying lessons. At your age I was too busy working as a Probation Officer and going to law school. I kept putting flying on the back burner and finally at 36 I was made a Judge and again, flying was something I was going to do when I had a chance. But kids came and I never took flying off the back as I raised them working hard. Now I’m retired and could afford to buy a nice Bonanza and fly, but…. I’m too old to start from scratch flying again. So I watch you’all doing what I will have to wait till my next life to do. But, my life was a great ride in a different way.
Yeah, I was/am jealous too. Now I am getting money together to buy a straight leg Beech (slow), train and move to Bonanza. Please note how Jeffrey gives rides in his jet and has done so in his cars as well. His generosity combined with his intelligence, plus you almost never hear bad language. His brother and friends make a really nice team and they get their places in the spotlight as well from time to time. More generosity.
I’d love to know what these guys would be doing if the internet never happened and they didn’t live in Scottsdale AZ
Fun fact the head winds have to do with the earth only rotating the same direction every day
😊
That's a fine Bonanza! I always wanted a V-Tail but never had the skills to handle one. I flew antique taildraggers!
I used to fly into South Alabama (formerly Andalusia-Opp) years ago in a TH-64 (206 Jet Ranger) when I first started flying for the Army. "Free" BBQ and ice cream treats for your one time donation of $5! I miss that place! Florala was another great stop. Good ol' instrument days.
I really do admire you guys.
Congratulations to you guys.
You're guys are living MY dream! Beautiful Bonanza and great purchase!
I’m still inspired. Thank you guys. Hopefully first plane is a Bonanza this year 🙌🏿🙌🏿
That is a great and good equipped airplane you've bought. Congrats. Keep it in the fleet for a while to enjoy. Waiting for the next video with the new panel in the Bluberry.
What a beautiful landscapes!!!
Love these flight videos and all the info to do with airports, fuel prices, fuel burned, etc. All cool to me! Thank you for posting these!
Congratulations for the new plane, looks very good, thank you for sharing your happiness with us.
FYI… The turbocharger on this airplane, and the B36TC, are prone to cracking on the hot-side. I’ve replaced several of them over the years. The turbo doesn’t crack externally, it is an internal crack. Not particularly dangerous, more of a loss of efficiency. Overall, I really like the A36TC and B36TC. 👍🏼
Used to fly cross country MN-SC or MN-MT all the time with dad in his A36c… miss those trips with him.
Great vid guys, really brought me back.
My grandfather worked on the Beech assembly line from 1951-1986. My understanding was that most of that time was spent installing windshields. He didn't fly, but he often wondered how many hours and miles had been logged looking through something he helped build. I think he would have loved to see cross-country Bonanza adventures like this. I know I do!
Happy Birthday Jeff. Congrats on the new airplane. I can’t wait to see what you do to make it pop.
Very nice trip back to KDVT. I used to fly out of KSDL in a Citation 525 a few years back and have flown the South Florida to Scottsdale trip a few times. Never flew the "Q" Routes across the Gulf, though. Having flown the A-36 and A36-TC in the Midwest, there were very warm days when the boost from the turbo was really appreciated. Great flying airplanes!
Wow!! Now you have gone and done it. You bought my dream airctaft! Congratulations gentlemen!!! Great video and a beautiful plane!!
Loving these insights into your purchase experiences - so thrilling to see your joys. Stay passionate and true. Hello from London, England : - )
Thank you for sharing. Love your videos
I'm just at the beginning of the video, first and foremost awesome pick on this one, this will be a great addition to the fleet for long journeys!! Also I'm going to agree 100% with the statement that you have to have an intercooler on a turbo, it's a MUST to keep those temps down!! Great buy can't wait for the flight! Also 8 bucks a gallon HOLY COW!! YIKES!!
Happy Birthday Jed. !!! Ha Ha !!
Nice plan lads good lucky with flying it this is a great video thank you
Great flight back from Fla, where I reside. You are right about the humidity here...LOL. Nice post. As I have said before, you guys have too much fun!!
Great find you guys !!
Congrats on the purchase and happy birthday man
Happy birthday Jeff!!! Stoked on what you guys are doing
Hey dear, I must confess you got such an adorable smile 😊 on your profile picture, nice to meet you.
Happy Birthday Jeff. Aries season🎉🎉🎉
I was at that same airport all weekend, crazy!
Have to shout out ATLANTIC BEECHCRAFT. The best place to take your beechcraft in all of south florida. Will is the best!!
Hi Bros,
That’s a lot more economic airplane than the jet you’ve shown in the previous vlog plus this plane is reasonable comfortable too.
Send you love from the Netherlands
Awesome love what you guys do
Hey, one tip for the edit: The inflight dialogue and ATC is only on the left channel. You can duplicate the audio to right channel or make it an mono audio track, so we can hear it on both ears :)
Always cool to see TH-camrs stop at one of my home airports. When I was timebuilding, I bought gas at Sherman for less than $2/gal. At the time it was the cheapest fuel in the United States.
With 3 boys one that will be a pilot and the other two and myself are A&P were looking . I started out as a PP and then worked GA for 3 years I miss it.
Thanks for making the videos :)
I’ve flown to Sherman before, lived not to far from there. Thanks for stopping by
You all make good aviation videos ! Like your channel !
Hey guys. Longtime JR Garage sub here, and fellow 6’6” aviator. I’m here on an extended visit to Scottsdale, I’m at SDL finishing my PPL in a new Cirrus SR22T (N22TL … coincidence!) and want to say hi. Been meaning to drive over to Falcon Field and see if anybody happens to be around, but been too busy flying to have the chance yet. Have a good one!
Happy birthday Jeff 🎉🤩
I think the turbo is very low pressure 3-4 psi, thats why an intercooler is not necessary, but nice to have.
Nice! Good luck in the future
Congrats! Nice buy...
Happy birthday Jeff!!!
your guys are living the dream....
Good that you take proper care of her.
No red beacon light anywhere on your new gal?
That'd be something I'd add.
One on top of tail and another on bottom fuse below Captain seat.
Helps ground crew or people around plane are that you're about to start!
Put LED nav & strobe lights too?
It has LED taxi/land lights already.
I've got a bunch of time in a 1968 V35 Bonanza.
We made all lights LED starting with taxi/land.
Ours had rotating beacon on top rear fuselage which was useless. We added another one under fuse.
They were dual colored red/white as ours didn't have wingtip Strobes.
Three way switch.
Off/GND (red)/AIR (white).
We also added a strobe on rear nav light that came on when AIR was selected.
Standard procedure became Land light on pre take off and keep it on for whole flight!
We also added Land lights on each main gear leg.
We'd be lucky to do 2 hours night flying a year but with them all on its like daytime!
B36 is a superb machine. Yours is a bit special having intercooler too.
Love the club leather seating too!
Enjoy lads!
I've owned several Bonanza's the A36 is my favorite. But I have the V35 close to my heart.❤
Looking very nice.
The audio with headphones is amazing! 👏
Don't know about planes but learning.Your friends the pilots are so professional and great.JR guys are also unbelievable. ALAN
Nice new project guys, congratulations on all your success! If you drop a new Continental CD 300 turbo jet A in these are surely the best 6 seat single in the world. Are you going to send it for avionics upgrade the same as your 33? That guy did a phenomenal job.
Really enjoyed this video! I'm a constant viewer of Owen's channel too. This collaboration is justamazing.
Awesome content and views!!!!
Awesome edit, Owen always sounding silky smooth on the radio. Nice capture of the air traffic 👍🏼
Just finished my flight lesson at 1pm in my 59’ c 150 (no one cares work harder)
Congrats on your first hour and many more to come!
Taos! I fly aerial survey out of Albuquerque. You guys should look into a T210 next. The visibility and performance is amazing.
Everybody wish Jeff a happy birthday today 🎉🥳
Happy birthday Jeff!
Happy birthday
Happy birthday Jeff!
🎉🎉🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF
Happy Belated Birthday Jeff!!!😎🤙🏽✈
Wow...my Dad and Uncle both got their private pilot licences at Sherman back in the early '60's. Sherman and Paris.
There was also a grass strip in Lamar County back then that's gone now.
Cool you can hear the turbo whine on take off. 🏄
Nice plane and flight, awesome stuff,,, 1 question, wheres the head? :)
Firstly, thanks for the great content in your videos. Im new to the channel and see you buying planes often. What do you do with them?
Wow that was up here on our airport in Iowa. Would have loved to buy it! Best wishes boys!
❤your video, that’s amazing
Should look in to getting an ElectroAir system. Ive installed an Electroair system on a A36TC customer loves it.
I love your "Steam gauges," having worked those systems, (USAF), Avionics) "back in the day." :-) "Glass" is nice, but I just love watching those pointers. :-) My G.A. favorite was the Piper Arrow. That was until the wings came off. My EAB was fun for many years. Loved your video. Thanks. N6395T
Ayyy The Shannon Tip Tanks. Lets go
Aspiring pilot out here in Maricopa AZ bro! Love your videos, swoop thru and grab me up for a flight! 🤣
That plane was based at KEYE for years and the owner was very meticulous about everything on that plane. Congrats, you’ll love it.
Yes way back in the day, good eye!
Wow I love your blessed boys videos
Awesome video per usual, but what is Owens relation with the Happy Dad, NELK gear? 🤙🏽
nice plane, looks super comfy, sounds throaty
9:32 Shockingly cool - I thought you wanted to avoid cold shock! Maybe replace the 520 with a PT-6 and never have a bad cylinder again? :-)
Nice aircraft, enjoy it ❤
@JR Aviation a new subscriber and a new pilot student located near Deer Valley looking for a Bonanza!!
Great video and cool flying.
We did a flying " vacation" from the UK last year, we visited sadona ,and had a great night out there ! The approach was bumpy to say the least ,me and my daughter are doing a flying holiday next month, hiring in San Francisco, night in santa Barbara, few nights in santa monivs , night in San deigo then back up to San Francisco, fancy a meet up ? Be nice to see you guys love your channel , had a night in scottsdale last year as well .had a night out in r and r old town. Fancy a meet arrange some dates
Congrats on the new purchase guys! I’ve been working towards being able to own my own plane someday! I’m 18 and I’m about to start working on my instrument rating!
good stuff man! I've got my instrument checkride in 1.5 months, and I'm 20!
Good luck both of ya, hope you both succeed
@@mikhailjairnisbett441 good luck dude!
What exactly do these guys do? Fix them up and sell them?
@@owenjohnson7447 make videos of their dads businesses - claim all the stuff is theirs lol
Happy Bday Jeff!! Have good one dude i wish you a bigger private jet! 😂 hopefully we meet one day!
Congrats guys...awesome to see your videos. This one was a little hard at times b/c of the radio chatter during commentary. However, good video nevertheless...
Sorry about the headwinds, it could be worse... Just got off an AA baby bus from DFW to SBP: 3:40. Surfing atmospheric river in the wrong direction. 353 knots groundspeed at times.
Why don’t you guys get your license and actually fly them back. My ppl took 3 months and instrument took just under 2. It’s not that hard
rumors are, they didn't pass their driving licenses... so the ppl could be a nightmare..😅😂🎉
You are exaggerating. Even if they had a license, instrument rating and commercial they still would not have the skills for high performance, especially a Bonanza.
Nice video! I have some rookie questions: was that the Grand Canyon at minute 23? Why is an oil change needed so shortly after service? I wish you lots of fun and safe flights!
Another excellent aviation video! Land for a few minutes to put out another JR Garage video! :-)
First of all, nice video. If I had to take an educated guess, I would say, you boys, graduated with a 4 year degree in some kind of Aviation major, or perhaps not. I admire you boy's entrepreneurship. So, you look for a " good deal" in buying a Bonanza, clean it up, and flipping it, with a fresh annual, and on to the next. 😊 wishing you all the best. 😊
Congrats. I have an 86 B36TC and love it. Add air conditioning. I did and cannot imagine flying without it.
Very nice! That’s definitely a tempting mod!
Congratulations boys! Crazy nice airplane. Love the backseats. I’m a backseat kind of guy if you know what I mean, lol
I wish it was warmer out I really like seeing you guys wearing shorts, you boys have incredible legs. If you think fuel is expensive there, better not come out the Los Angeles, stuff is crazy expensive out here in California. Have fun with the new bonanza, I would love to break in the backseat for you, lol
That's so cool !!
Man… I wish I could afford to do this haha! I think it’s awesome you guys are able to live the dream!
Only need daddy's money.
@@joshuaowens4797 I wish... I make more than him 🤣
@joshuaowens: If daddy can make it, so can you. Stop acting like all wealth is inherited.
@@reason6835 No hate for the inheritable. Much easier to get loaded. Although even with gimme money, I dont know about the bottomless pit of airplane ownership. Quickest way to watch an inheritance evaporate....haha
It’s planes like this is why I watch your channel! Leave the 80yo jets alone!
Interesting purchase. Nice plane, no doubt! But I wonder why another piston engine aircraft and not a turboprop?
Deer Valley airport - I probably heard you fly by.
Once again I am 25:32 amazed at your flying ability for your age. Semper fi
I see you stopped at Anda-lunchia. Should have stopped for lunch on north side restaurant and get the golf cart ride!
Aaahhhh got my Christian doze …. It’s a great day 😍
Minute: @15:00
True airspeed doesn’t care about your head/tailwind. I think you’re referring to your ground speed.
Cool. But even my 1995 Model Garmin GPS 100 Panel Mount, ( which was badass back then) has a True Airspeed calculator, but if you boys would pull out an E6B in your A36, you would have your TAS.LOL😜 Love the Vid's.
Spent about 50k with Bill at Atlantic Beech when I bought my Baron. They do great work. I've had it for 3 years and barely had a single issue with anything. Was cool to hear his name on here.
Thanks for sharing! Small world, he does great work!
@@JRAviation he does. I’m getting a 421C so it’s about to go on the market. Let me know if you guys are in the market for a nice P2!
Nice vid i also live in Arizona.
That’s cool get your boys together for a fly. I wish I could fly but I’m a big guy and I don’t think I would fit in them training planes…
New Mexico always has some breath taking views. It especially comes to life after a rain, it's like a green bomb went off. :-)
Right!! I was very surprised
Inter cooler is essential, I'm sure that's what's keeping the engine cool, healthy, and with plenty of power
Intercooler is for the turbo.
You guys should do a video on why you are buying so many airplanes haha. Do you flip them to make money or are you building a little fleet for content and to share between you?
Ouchhhh haha on the Trevor shout out 😂
