Just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying my recent aircraft purchase. Having you with me on-site for the initial check out and to negotiate the price certainly got me the best plane at the right price! Thanks for keeping me from making an expensive mistake with my first choice. You can use me as a reference for potential customers anytime. Thanks again! Tom Richardson
Testimonial letter:
Darryl, Thank you for assisting me in the purchase of my Bonanza. When I look back on the experience it is clear to me that I was in way over my head. Left to my own devices I am certain that I would have wound up with a ‘parts donor with a pretty paint job’. These machines are much more complex than they appear and what appears to be a real bargain is probably just an expensive project. Anyone who is in the market for one of these and doesn’t hire a professional like you is just setting themselves for a hit. It’s just that simple. Keep up the good work. Steve Koontz

Mike and I got back from Phoenix today after doing the pre buy and watching some of the annual and all we can say is: wow. That is a very nice plane. I got a referral to shop in Chandler to do the pre-buy and I think they did a great job. They said they havn’t seen a plane of this vintage, in this nice of shape. The compressions were mid 70s. His mechanic was telling us that after Ken got his new paint on he plane, he wouldn’t let the mechanic work on it without wearing gloves. I thought he was kidding, but they both said it was true. He has a hand wash/polish that he cleans the plane with after each flight you can see your reflection in the glossy paint surface. The only issues we found are with the paperwork, and his mechanic should be finishing that up today or the next day. We still need to wait a couple weeks to see if we can get a clear title (from FDIC) before closing the deal.

If you are thinking about buying a beech bonanza, I strongly suggest that you contact Darryl white. The service he provides is by far the best value in aviation. His knowledge of and experience in aviation and specifically with bonanzas is invaluable. He worked non stop to locate several potential buys, then he gathered information from the current owners and mechanics. We flew together in his V35 to inspect one prospect. I really got to see how to look at an airplane. He is not just a tire kicker, he pulled every panel, check compressions, tested the gear and all avionics and found several undocumented repairs that would have gone unnoticed by the causal observer. He arranged for a thorough check of the logs and ad’s and for the use of a local mechanics shop for the inspection. He wisely recommended that I pass on that plane. The next plane, (located in Denver too far to fly for a one day out and back trip) he arranged for a thorough pre-buy that turned up cracks in the wing spars. He discussed this with the mechanic, the owner and me then recommended against the plane. He even got my money back for the inspection. The next day he found N60264 in Dallas and after a call to the owner and his mechanic, and after consulting me made an offer that was accepted. His brokering of the deal saved me at least $25000.00. I was a 70 hour pilot with my only time in a c172. He worked with the insurance company and agreed to be my instructor for the 50 hours of dual time (which was like a 50 hour BPPP course) they required before solo. I have since flown over 200 hours in N60264 and earned an instrument rating in her. I enjoyed every minute of it. I still check the used bonanza market and have not seen anything close to what Darryl found and arranged fore my purchase. After working with Darryl, I would never even think about buying a airplane without him.

After searching on my own for over a year for a Bonanza, I noticed the Beechcraft Buyers add in the ABS magazine. I e-mailed Darryl White and was impressed with his immediate response. After discussing what I had in mind for an aircraft, and the price range, Darryl was right back to me the next day with five possible aircraft that were worth considering. Within a week we met out in the mid west to inspect the best of the possibilities Darryl had recommended. I initially thought the aircraft looked great, however, Darryl cautioned me “not to fall in the love with the airplane”. After a thorough inspection by Darryl, who has a remarkable knowledge of these Beech aircraft, he recommended we walk away due to a number of significant maintenance issues with the airplane.
After returning home, Darryl was back in touch, encouraging me not to get discouraged. We began reviewing several other possibilities and Darryl found an airplane that looked great on paper. After he handled the price negotiations, we met again in the upper Midwest to inspect this Bonanza. It turned out to be a very well maintained, nicely equipped airplane and we closed the deal that same day. The following day, we had good weather, and again I found myself blessed to have Darryl, a retired 747-airline captain to fly the newly acquired Bonanza back with me to my home base in Massachusetts.
I would highly recommend anyone considering the purchase of a Bonanza or Baron to contact Darryl White. Darryl made what was becoming a fruitless, frustrating search for a Bonanza into an enjoyable, educational experience. If I had not made the connection with Darryl, I am sure I would either still be looking or would have purchased a very expensive mistake.
