Description
In the world of personal aviation, few names carry the reverence of the Beechcraft Bonanza. It is an airframe that defined the personal travel category decades ago. It remains a benchmark for speed, handling, and elegance that others have tried to emulate but few have ever truly surpassed. With this 1987 Beechcraft B36TC Bonanza, we are not just presenting an aircraft. We are presenting a living classic that has been masterfully bridged into the modern era. Stationed at Brackett Field (KPOC), this Bonanza offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of legendary aviation heritage without sacrificing a single ounce of current day utility.
Why N6801T?
A classic is only as good as the stewardship it has received, and N6801T stands as a testament to meticulous care. With complete, continuous logs from day one, this aircraft offers the kind of transparency that serious buyers value. It captures the golden age feel of Beechcraft craftsmanship, yet it surprises you the moment you sit in the cockpit. The 2014 interior refurbishment, featuring custom Dove and Fun Silver leather and super soundproofing, respects the aircraft vintage while providing a serene, modern cabin environment that makes long distance travel feel effortless.
Key Highlights:
Timeless Performance, Modernized: At its heart lies the renowned Tornado Alley TN Conversion, paired with a Continental TNIO-550B-RA engine. With RAM Cam upgrades and TurboGAMIjectors, this aircraft delivers the classic Bonanza climb and cruise performance, optimized with 21st century reliability.
A No-Vacuum Glass Heritage: Experience the best of both worlds. The panel has been completely transformed into an all-electric, vacuum-free flight deck. Anchored by the Garmin G500 glass cockpit and dual GTN 750 (WAAS) navigators with Flightstream 510, you get the sophisticated situational awareness of a modern cruiser within the iconic lines of a classic airframe.
Comprehensive Safety and Redundancy: This Bonanza is equipped to handle the realities of modern airspace. Featuring the Garmin GTS 800 Active Traffic System, a B&C standby alternator, propeller de-ice, and a built-in CO2 sensor, it provides the peace of mind and operational security expected of a refined personal asset.
Whether you are a traditionalist who appreciates the history of the B36TC or a pilot looking for a high-performance cruiser that does not feel like a project, N6801T delivers a flying experience that is as enduring as it is enjoyable. High-resolution media folders and complete digital logbook scans are available upon request. We welcome private viewings and logbook reviews at our facility at Brackett Field.
