Stumbled across some old files that looked worthy of edits with current tools. A Baron 58 keeps it low after takeoff and is cleaning things up before climbout. First flown in 1961, the Baron remains in production with close to 6,900 delivered. Competing with the Piper Aztec and Cessna 310, Beechcraft’s response was to make a true twin-engined variant of the Bonanza. The Baron 58 was the “long fuselage” version, 2,124 were produced from 1969-2004.
