Hi everybody
I'm new to this list.
Has anybody heard of a V35A that was armed with twin Browning machine guns that
was used in the Rhodesian Bush War?
Regards,
Andrew.

Good Morning Gary S.,
I have to admit that you have piqued my curiosity.
Could you let the rest of us know what you are referring to?
Happy Skies,

Hi
Are there any Staggerwing enthusiasts out there? I'm trying to find out what happened
to a Staggerwing that was restored by Peter Dahl in South Africa - it was
sold to somebody in the US in the mid 1980's. The Staggerwing used to be ZS-PWD
and apparently was owned at some stage by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.
Anybody know anything about this old lady?
Regards
Andrew

Good Afternoon Andrew,
I am not familiar with that particular airplane, but the Staggerwing Museum
in Tullahoma, Tennessee, has a very good list of almost all of the currently
flying, stored and many of the destroyed airplanes.
May I suggest that you contact them at: <A HREF="http://www.staggerwing.com/">http://www.staggerwing.com/
If you are ever able to stop by the Museum, I am sure you will find it well
worth the trip.
They hold a large flyin and convention every year in October. Check it out
on their website.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

Bob,
I was referring to the note posted by another person looking for info on
a V35A w/ machine guns mounted in the wings. He replied that it was his
father's aircraft.

There is a note in Larry Ball's "Incomparable Bonanzas" about a model D33
which was modified S35. It had a straight tail, hardpoints and other
changes. The Air Force was evaluating it as a light strike aircraft.
"Air Force pilots flew this Bonanza with 250-pound napalm bombs, 2.75-inch
folding find unguided rockets, 7.62 mm six-barrel machine guns, bomblet
dispensers, 272-pound general purpose bombs and other ordnance." The
picture show a plane with a tail number of N5847K. One of the N number
databases I checked has no such listing.
This was in '65. No mention what ever happend to the plane.
There also was a model PD249 which was supposed to be a improved version
of the D33. And then there was also the various "Pave Eagle" planes, but
thats getting pretty distant to what would normally be considered a
Bonanza.
