Davis's article disappointed me and I put it in the crap basket pretty quickly. Whether he was just trying to be provocative by picking on a legendary aircraft has backfired IMHO. I haven't flown the V35 but have an F33A and after many hours on Pipers (and Jim's little favourite the 140) Cessnas and Mooney's I prefer the Bonanza over all of these. I'll probably drop my subscription to AF as a result. Anyway, why does Davis carry on so much about South Africa, I'd rather read of Aussie accident investigations. You should be scared of them Jim if you can't close the bloody door and make it out to be a potentially catastrophic event.
