The turmoil that has consumed the world’s economy has certainly spread to aviation. And like investors, pilots are all looking for an airplane that can carry them through the unpredictable months and years ahead. The so-called flight to quality that sends money flowing into the most reliable and conservative investments also applies to pilots, and I think the Beech A36 Bonanza is the airplane that is best to fly through the economic turbulence.

Why the Bonanza when it is not necessarily the fastest, lowest cost or most fuel-efficient airplane in the category?
