1974 Beechcraft F33A BonanzaSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1974 Beechcraft F33A Bonanza (N861DS) presents as a well-maintained example with a mid-time engine and recent avionics upgrades. The airframe shows 4,390 total hours, with the Continental IO-520-BA engine having 770 hours since major overhaul in December 2008, showing strong compression readings. A Hartzell 3-blade constant speed propeller was installed new in July 2007 with 956 hours. The aircraft features a 2021 Garmin GNC355W GPS/NAV/COMM coupled to the autopilot, ADS-B IN/OUT capability through an Appareo ESG transponder, and retains a Bendix/King KX 155 for redundancy.

The exterior received a Matterhorn White paint job with blue and gold accents in 1999 (rated 8/10), while the 2003 tan leather interior by Aero Designs remains clean (rated 7/10). Notable modifications include D'Shannon long-range tip tanks (120 gal total), one-piece windshield, and electric flaps. The aircraft just completed its annual inspection in April 2025 and is certified for both IFR and VFR operations through April 2027. With a useful load of 1,218 lbs and four-place seating, this Bonanza combines cross-country capability with modern avionics in a classic airframe.
