  • Регистрационный номер: NX80040

    As a high-performance cabin lightplane, the Bonanza was suitable for postwar record breaking, and prototype c/n 4 N80040 was fitted with wingtip tanks for that purpose by Bill Odom and named "Waikiki Beech". After its record breaking career this aircraft was restored for display at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC.

  • Регистрационный номер: NX80150

    Another Bonanza prototype, NX80150 c/n 3, which does not have the advanced leading edge root fitted to NX80040 and standardised on production. It is not known if this was the laminar flow wing prototype but certainly NX80040 had the NACA 2300 aerofoil used on the production aircraft.
