American Bonanza Society Magazine

In May of 1989 my father’s 1979 A36, serial number E-1410, tail number N2051W, graced the cover of this magazine. That’s me, age 14, in the back, looking over my father’s left shoulder in the cover photo; my brother Andy, then 16, is sitting up front. Dad’s short cover essay ended with him calling 51W “a pure joy to fly” and he said that he loves it. It is now almost 40 years later – and both are still true.
