A Bonanza resting at the tiny Harris Ranch Airport. The Model 33 was introduced in 1960 as a lower-priced conventional tail model with more austere standard instrumentation, exterior equipment, paint schemes, and interior fabrics and trim than the more prestigious V-tail Bonanza. Only 50 of these G33 models were produced from 1972-1973. Introduced in 1947, the Beechcraft Bonanza is still in production and has been in continuous production longer than any other airplane in history. More than 17,000 Bonanzas of all variants have been built, produced in both distinctive V-tail as well as conventional tail configurations.
