THE BEECH TRAVEL AIR IS THE TRUE "TWIN BONANZA"ALTHOUGH BEECHCRAFT HAD ALREADY USED THAT NAME ON A BIGGER AIRPLANE THAT HAD NO PARTS IN COMMAN WITH THE SINGLE ENGINED BONANZA, THE TRAVEL AIR USED THE BONANZA FUSELAGE, ALONG WITH SOME PARTS FROM THE STRENGTHENED MILITARY VERSION OF THE BONANZA, THE MENTOR.LIKE THE BONANZA, THE TRAVEL AIR WAS PERIODICALLY UPGRADED BY THE FACTORY TO MAKE IT FASTER, SAFER, MORE USEFUL, OR MORE MODERN LOOKING.THE BASIC LAYOUT OF THE AIRCRAFT IS A BONANZA FUSELAGE, WITH 2 LYCOMING 180 H.P. DYNA-FOCAL MOUNT (FOR SMOOTHNESS) ENGINES, WHICH GIVE IT GOOD SPEED (200 MILES PER HOUR), WITH GREAT RANGE (OVER 1000 MILES), IN A GREAT HANDLING PACKAGE, WITH RUGGED RELIABLE SYSTEMS, FROM THE ENGINES TO THE LANDING GEAR TO THE CONTROL SURFACESTHIS 1965 BEECH TRAVEL AIR IS THE LATER MODEL D95A VERSION, WHICH CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH MANY MODIFICATIONS THAT MADE IT RIGHT IN STEP WITH THE BONANZA AND BARONS OF THE DAY.TRAPIZOIDAL 3RD REAR SIDE WINDOW, WITH LONGER INTERNAL FUSELAGE FOR A BIG REAR BAGGAGE COMPARTMENTLONGER NOSE, BALANCES THE AIRPLANE BETTER VISUALLY, ADDS SPEED, AND INCREASES THE SIZE OF THE FRONT BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT.INSIDE, THE BUCKET SEATS ARE NICER, AND THE DASH IS REDESIGNED WITH A CENTER STACK FOR AVIONICS, AND A TRUE SIX-PACK LAYOUT FOR THE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS.IF THIS DASH LAYOUT LOOKS FAMILIAR, IT IS BECAUSE IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A BARON !!TRAVEL AIRS WERE OFTEN USED IN FLIGHT TRAINING, BECAUSE THEY GIVE A DOCILE FEEL, BUT HIGH PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES, WITH A MUCH LOWER FUEL BURN AND ENGINE MAINTAINENCE COSTS.THIS AIRPLANE IS NOT ONE OF THOSE WORN OUT, 10,000 HOUR TOTAL TIME FLIGHT SCHOOL DOGS !!PRIVATELY OWNED AND FLOWN AS A PERSONAL CROSS COUNTRY AIRPLANE.THE PAINT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION, BUT WITHOUT ANY ADORNMENT OR STRIPING BEYOND THE GOLD N NUMBERS.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LITTLE STRANGE, LIKE MAYBE THE STRIPING HAD JUST NEVER BEEN COMPLETED, BUT THE LITTLE CARTOON PAINTED ON THE TAIL "CASPER, THE FRIENDLY GHOST" MAKES ME THINK THEY JUST LIKED THE PURE WHITE LOOK.INSIDE, THE TAN LEATHER SEATS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION (THE 4TH SEAT, NOT SHOWN IN PHOTOS, IS ALSO INCLUDED, WE WILL SEND IT TO THE BUYER AT NO CHARGE)EQUIPPED WITH A RAMS HORN STYLE SINGLE YOKE, BUT A DUAL YOKE IS AVAILABLE, FROM US OR OTHERS, IF YOU WANT ONE FOR TWIN TRAINING IN THE FUTURE.WIRED FOR A SIMPLE KING AVIONICS PACKAGE, TRAYS AND HARNESSES ARE INSTALLED AND INCLUDED FOR A KING AUDIO PANEL, AKING NAV-COM, KING DME AND KING TRANSPONDER, BUT NO PANEL UNITS OR INDICATORS ARE INCLUDED, SO YOU ARE FREE TO ADD WHATEVER AVIONICS MEET YOUR MISSION PROFILE, OR STRIKE YOUR FANCY.ALL FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION IS INCLUDED, EXCEPT THE ELECTRIC TURN COORDINATOR AND VACUMN D.G, WHICH ARE REMOVED AND NOT INCLUDED.ALL SWITCHGEAR AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION, INTERCOM SYSTEM, ETC. ARE STILL INSTALLED, AS SHOWNTHIS AIRCRAFT SUFFERED LIGHT, ISOLATED DAMAGE WHEN THE PILOT MADE A GOOD LANDING, IN THE CENTER OF THE RUNWAY, WITHOUT REMEMBERING TO FLIP THAT LITTLE ROUND GEAR SWITCH DOWN (EVERY RETRACTABLE PILOT HAS DONE IT, OR WILL DO IT)THE DAMAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE AIRPLANE IS VERY, VERY LIGHT !THERE IS SCRAPING TO THE NOSE GEAR DOORS AT THE TRAILING EDGES, BUT THEY ARE NOT DESTROYEDTHE AIRCRAFT SLID ON ITS STEP, WHICH WORE OF AT THE BOTTOM.THE ANGLE OF THE AIRPLANE UP ON THE STEP ALLOWED THE INBOARD LEFT GEAR DOOR TO SCRAPE SLIGHTLY, AND THERE IS A SINGLE PANEL ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LEFT NACELLE THAT IS ALSO SCRAPED (NOT DESTROYEDBOTH FLAPS ARE SCRAPED AND BENT ON THIER TRAILING EDGES, BUT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO EITHER WING !!NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO ANY OF THE LANDING GEAR !! (SITTING ON GEAR NOW WITH NO ISSUES)AS THE GEAR DID NOT COLLAPSE OR FOLD IN, (WAS NEVER SELECTED DOWN) THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE ACTUATING RODS OR GEAR TRANSMISSIONEVEN THE BELLY OF THE FUSELAGE HAS ONLY MINOR SCRAPING, AS A MARKER BEACON ANTENNA SEEMS TO HAVE ACTED LIKE A SKID, AND TOOK MUCH OF THE FORCE !!BOTH 180 H.P. LYCOMING ENGINES SUFFERED PROP STRIKES AND SUDDEN STOPPAGE, SO THEY HAVE BEEN UNBOLTED, ALONG WITH THE BENT PROPS AND ACCESSORIES FORWARD OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS, AND THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE.AS YOU CAN SEE, THE UNDAMAAGED ENGINE MOUNTS, ALONG WITH CABLES AND WIRING, ARE UNDAMAGED AND INCLUDED, AS ARE THE INDUCTION AIR BOXES.SOLD WITH AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS SINCE BRAND SPANKING NEW IN NOV OF 1964 (THE 9TH 1965 D95A BUILT) TO THE PRESENTLAST ANNUAL WAS COMPLETED IN APRIL OF 2015, SO THIS AIRPLANE IS LEGALLY STILL IN CALENDER ANNUAL UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH !! NOT A SITTER !!MIDWEST BASED FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS, AND TEXAS BEFORE THAT, SO THIS IS A VERY CLEAN AIRFRAME, NOT A FLORIDA CORROSION BUCKET LIKE SOME OTHERS I HAVE SEEN !!LOCATED 600 N.M.
