Merv Henkes V 35B Bonanza  

 

1970 Beech Bonanza N8498A

                               

Merv Henkes, CAA member for 16 years,  has been flying this bird since 1988 and has made many modifications.  Wing tanks, turbo, autopilot,  gadgets galore and state of the art avionics make this aircraft ideal for cross country flights at excellent ground speeds.  But, it is used mostly for Saturday morning flyouts to Salem, Albany or Siletz Bay and CAA flyouts to interesting places.
