If HPN isn't too far for you, check out the Westchester Flying Club there.
I'm pretty sure they've one or two Bonanzas on the line there, and what
I've read about them makes it seem like a good club.


Westchester Flying Club owns 2 Beechcrafts, a 1963 Debonair (IO-520,
160kt cruise) and a 1967 S35 Bonanza (IO-550, 174 kt cruise). Only
members with 350 hours and an instrument rating are allowed to check
out in them, but they are both SWEET! I flew the Bo' and one of the
other members flew the Debbie to OSH last July.

In addition the club currently owns 2 Arrows (a 180 HP and a 200HP),
and 3 Archer II's.

Hope this helps...

Wow, I just took a look at the pictures on the website and those two
aircraft look to be in great shape with excellent panels.

What do they cost to rent per hour?

The new 2005 hourly rates are $116 for the S35 and $106 for the
Debonair. The hourly rates are wet, of course, and are calculated on
tach time. Monthly dues are $135.

Both airplanes are equipped with Century 2000 autopilots with ALT hold
and are coupled with Garmin 480's (CNX-80's).

Very sweet airplanes.

$116 for the S35? That's a steal! I would have expected around the
$150/hr range. Pilots flying those aircraft must have all kinds of
recurring training requirements to appease your insurance company.

Not really. The only thing that the insurance company requires is 350
hours and an instrument rating. In addition, the Club requires 2 hrs
flight time within the previous 90 days to stay current in the Beeches.
If that lapses the member must take a checkout flight and get an
endorsement from one of the club-approved instructors. For a member who
wants to transition into the Beeches there is a Club requirement for a
minimum of 10hrs dual, at least 5 in each aircraft. They do fly a bit
differently. I would think that the insurance company has accepted the
Club requirements for transition and currency and added those other two
stipulations.
