Article about Bonanza variant QU-22B's role in Viet Nam

Featured Replies

Fascinating article from the September issue of AOPA Pilot. The online article appears at the link below and includes a video of a preserved QU-22B that includes interviews with some pilots who served on the mission.

Wow. The Bonanza looks great in a USAF livery. I have always loved Beechcraft. They make such beautiful aircraft.

Have you seen the Army T-42 (military version of the Beech Baron B-55) repaint by master painter Ron Attwood? It is for the MilViz Baron B-55 and is accurately detailed right down to the small warning decals. The Air Force also had a T-42 in its own blue and white livery.

That's amazing! On first glance I thought that was a real Baron! I wish I had the MilViz 732.
