In a
calculated move to increase sales, Beech introduced a
radical re-design of the Bonanza on
September 14, 1959. The aircraft's trademark V-tail was
replaced with a conventional straight tail, resulting in
a new variant initially dubbed the “Debonair.” The
current straight-tail model, the Bonanza 36, was first
built in 1968 and is still in production today. Seen on
the image above is a Beechcraft
Bonanza F33A of ATCA at Goodyear airport.
