Uh, well, maybe.

Depends on your what definition of "cruise" you want to use.

According to the chart at
http://www.vintagebonanza.com/Model_..._directory.htm

The factory numbers for the F model sez that the top of the green (start
of the yellow) is 175 MPH while "Max Cruise" is 180 MPH. Now, that chart
really doesn't give the conditions you might be able to achieve this "max
cruise", but in theory it is possible.


I'm pretty sure I could get my A35 to come pretty close to its numbers in
that chart. However, I would have to flog it pretty good in order to
accomplish it. Not something I like doing with a 50+ year old airframe.
