That’s right! We closed on N5451U this morning and the registration has been filed with the FAA! That means we officially own a plane! We’ll be taking final delivery of the plane in her hanger at KARR on Saturday to officially get the keys and such. My insurance company is requiring that I get 15 hours of dual in the plane so I won’t be able to fly her around straight away, but I have lined up the well known Craig Bailey to teach me all about my new Beech aircraft.

I’ll be making a video this weekend after we take delivery of the plane with a walk around and such, but for now here are the specs.

Anyway, we are excited to have the freedom of our own plane whenever the mood and weather is right to go anywhere we want!
