This airplane was Beechs' developmental test bed until 1974.
The airplane has the beefed-up wing and gear of the heavier
Model 56TC, and the simpler 2 tank (136 gallons useable) fuel
system developed for the Model 58. It has the Model 58 cowlings
and instrument panel. The airplane was sold to Business Air
Services, who employed United Beechcraft to certify it. The airplane
has a normal type certificate, and is certified as a C-55 BAS.
Aircraft logs begin on this date, and all work is carefully
documented. The aircraft was a personal aircraft of multimillionaire
Bob Pond (Tennant Corp/Planes of Fame).
