Beechcraft has delivered the 4,000th Model 36 Bonanza single-engine piston aircraft. The Bonanza is the longest continuously produced aircraft in history with more than 18,000 Model 35, 33 and 36 units delivered since 1947.

The buyer of the 4,000th Model 36 is property developer Segall Group. It will will use the aircraft to conduct site visits and client meetings while developing shopping centers and brokering real estate deals.

“For several years we’ve leased aircraft for specific trips throughout the mid-Atlantic that would be impossible to make efficiently if driving or flying commercially,” said Segall.

“A business aircraft is a tool that adds flexibility and gives us the capability to expand our geographic footprint and our services. As our transportation needs grew and we began taking clients with us on site visits, we realized ownership was the next step.

"We looked for an airplane that matched the feel of our brand. The Beechcraft Bonanza is the top-of-the-line aircraft in its category with an outstanding reputation. The G36 has the handling characteristics and robust avionics to give us confidence in flying our employees and our clients, and the spaciousness and quality of the cabin really won us over.”

The Bonanza G36 is a six-seat piston aircraft with a cabin almost a third larger than its nearest competitor. Powered by a 300-horsepower Continental IO-550-B engine with a Hartzell three-blade aluminum alloy propeller, the Bonanza G36 has a maximum cruise speed of 202 miles per hour (176 knots), maximum range of more than 860 nautical miles, 860-pound maximum payload and 18,500-foot service ceiling. The glass cockpit features Garmin G1000 avionics and a Garmin GFC 700 3-Axis Autopilot/Flight Control System.
