The T-Bone.

The Beech D50C Twin Bonanza in our logo isn't a stock image. It's our airplane.

We brought her into the shop in late 2023. She'd passed through three owners before us — Ron, Isaac, and Charlie — each contributing to the airplane she is today. Most of the credit goes to Charlie, whose years of restoration work before his passing brought a 1960 Twin Bonanza back to what she was meant to be. Our role since has been the lighter one — keeping her airworthy, honoring what he built, and adding the next chapter. Maintaining her has taught us the Beechcraft twin family in ways no manual could.

The Twin Bonanza is a 1950s twin that few shops know well anymore. Built when "reliable" and "fast" meant something specific, the D50C carries six people across the Pacific Northwest in real comfort. Walk around her on the ramp and the engineering ethos is everywhere — substantial, deliberate, made to last.

Why the Beechcraft expertise matters.

Working on our own Twin Bonanza taught us the Beechcraft family in a way you can't get from a manual — the systems philosophy, the access challenges, the wear patterns, the small differences between the early B-models and the later D50C. When a Bonanza or Baron owner brings their airplane to our shop, they're getting a team where Beechcraft isn't a special order. It's home.

Why she's in the logo.

When we designed the brand, we wanted a mark that said something about who we are without explaining itself. A Twin Bonanza in a circle. People who know, know. People who don't, ask. Either reaction works.

She's still flying.

The Twin Bonanza is in active service: hangared at KBLI, flown regularly, maintained to the same standard we hold customer airplanes to. If you see her on the ramp, that's our brand mark in the wild.
