MotoArt celebrates general aviation and the many pilots who have relied upon private aircraft such as the Beechcraft G35 Bonanza to work and improve their lives. From the early days of aviation, throughout the post war years and into the 21st century, aircraft like the Beechcraft G35 brought the practice of using personal planes to conduct business into the reach of average citizens. These planes played a major role in furthering aerial operations like firefighting, mail delivery, and farming, as well as forming new industries like air taxis and commuter aviation operators. Generations of 20th century pilots learned to fly in Beechcrafts. Today there are about 591,000 civilian pilots in the U.S. alone, with 70% of them flying general aviation aircraft in a multitude of roles.

The Beechcraft G35 was a single engine, cantilever low wing, piston aircraft first introduced in 1956, and just one of an enduring line of Beechcraft Bonanzas, which have been in continuous production longer than any aircraft in history. The G35 was powered by a Continental E-225-8 engine and featured retractable landing gear and the distinctive V-tail, designed to reduce drag. It seated up to 3 passengers and 1 pilot, and was touted as the modern company’s method of saving manpower, man-hours, and money by operating their own business aircraft.

N35BE was built in 1956 and was privately owned throughout its many years of operation. MotoArt obtained the original aircraft skin material for this G35 in 2022 and created PlaneTags. Add this example of American aviation ingenuity to your PlaneTags collection today.
