I have sold my Piper Lance and I am now the proud owner of a Beechcraft Bonanza V35B. I have been wanting a Bonanza for some time now. I belong to a formation flying club of Bonanzas. My Piper was out of place in formations. I borrowed a friend's Bonanza to make the "Bonanzas to OSHKOSH 2007" trip. What a blast!

NO LONGER OWNED! (My plane is  Piper Lance single engine, six place, retract. I have had the interior completely redone. The new interior has all cream colored leather seats and side walls and tan carpet. I also had the center 2 seats converted to rear facing club seating. We love the results. I have also added IFR GPS.)

I am also the proud owner of a LanceAir. This plane was built by Randy Kruger. Wow, is it a blast to fly!!  It will hold two people and is like driving a hot little sports car. The exterior has it's final coat of paint, so the last major thing left to do is the upholstery.
