Piloting, Owning and Operating a Beech Bonanza A36 - www.gotoair.com

I managed to fly just once more in 2005 and it was a lovely trip to Birmingham for a meeting. Now thats not far in a Bonanza A36. Its about 30 minutes into Birmingham airport and 20 more in a taxi to the city centre. Apart from the landing, handling and parking fee of £67 including VAT it is a great place to land if you need to go into Birmingham. Thankfully my work pay for the landing fees as I was there on business.

During 2005 I only managed a miserly 56 hours and that included doing a good part of the IMC rating leaving me with about 196 hours in my logbook. I am determined in 2006 to do more than 100 hours. I have no particular need to get to 300 hours but it just seems a good number.
