	Beechcraft A36 Propjet "Bonanza" light six-seat single

A development of the original V tailed Bonanza, the model 36 offered improvements to fit into the niche for which the original aircraft was becomeing outdated.  Fitted with six seats, the 36 was first released in 1968 and offered high fast flight and excellent handling.  The turboprop development, (the A36TC) was produced from 1979 to 1981 when the B36TC was offered.  With over 3,000 produced and still being made, the 36 is one of the rare long-term GA success stories.
