Do you want a Bonanza?” my dad asked. It was 1982. I was taking flying lessons in a Cessna 152 at the Teterboro Flight Academy (KTEB) in New Jersey.

N5487U is a 1967 V35. The original owners, friends of my dad, built bridges. After winning a contract, they would fly to heavy equipment auctions and buy the machines they needed. On project completion the equipment was sold. They were retiring and no longer needed the airplane.
