Built in 1961. Damaged beyond repair in a forced landing in a field near Okeechobee, FL due to an engine problem in 1995.

Immaculate Twin Bonanza with matching interior, accessible through the starboard airstair. Built in February 1960, undergoing maintenance here since January 2025. Ex N333RB, and N108GS before that, but probably had more registrations over time. On the tail, it says 'BQ Classic Collection' in stylish lettering, so the latest change in regi was not random.

The Twin Bonanza was originally built for the US Army as a utility transport. Much larger than it's Bonanza namesake, the fuselage was widened by a foot, lengthened and deepened. Bonanza wings were attached outboard of the engines to a new strengthened center section. Built in 1960, N117WB is what some consider the ultimate version of the design. Modified by Swearingen Aircraft to an Excalibur 800, new direct drive Lycoming engines in streamlined cowlings boosted speed by 60 - 70 mph (aided by a new nose cap, sloped single piece windshield and gear doors that cover the wheels when retracted).

Arrival date 7 May 1979. Received inventory code UB068. Received a new inventory code (allocated to the USAF) UH003 on 5 August 1981. Departure date 4 November 1991 to Western International, Tucson (AZ) and then scrapped

Amarc code: UB008

This Twin Bonanza rolled of the production line in 1962.

Photographed on display outside Donna's Bar, (since closed), in downtown Huachuca City, Arizona, co-ordinates 31.64173, -110.33843. Traces of its old MASDC code UB061 are still visible on the rear fuselage, and the data plate confirmed the type as L-23D. Looking on Google Earth the aircraft was still in place on imagery date January 2015, but had disappeared by the time of imagery date May 2019.
