go to google

above the box where you type in what you want to search for, click "images"

in the box where you type in what you want to look for type "beechcraft baron"

hit enter, you will have more barons' than you will know what to do with (1940 to be exact)

I am convinced that google could take over the world if it was given a chance

Thanks guys. I was checking out FlightExpress' website. It's one of the companies I'm targeting for employment when the time comes.

Look at Ram Air Freight and Mountain Air Cargo.

RAF is good for building time. Mt Air Cargo seems like a good place to hang your hat for the long term. They are both in North Carolina.

If you decided to go to a regional - PSA has a base in CLT.

More specifically, look at the model 58 baron. It's basically an A-36 Bonanza with an engine on each wing. The model 55 is shorter and not able to be certified for part 135 operations.

Just curious. Why can't it be certified for 135 ops.?

I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time), but I've never seen a part 135 operation using a model 55. From what I understand it has to do with the way the aircraft is designed. It will not meet the critera for a part 135 cert because it's not certified for fligth into known icing where the 58 is. Maybe you can but since I'm in the midwest it severely limits you during about 8 months of the year. Especially when it's night freight and has to get there.

There are also a lot more model 58s out there. Much more popular airframe. It's still in production so there is good product support and parts are readily available. With the larger cabin it is a legitimate 6 place airplane when you remove some fuel or you can take the seats out and put quite a bit of cargo in. It also has much better handling charateristics, particularly when you loose an engine.
