THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION FOR BONANZA, BARON & TRAVEl ...

for a nonstop flight from JFK Airport,
New York, to Munich , Germany in
D-EHFG. That flight was made in the
summer of 1977 in the record-setting
time of 25 hours, 47 minutes. The flight
entailed fl ying over the ocean without
any GPS while dealing with weather
and icing conditions.
Now 83. Dieter holds a number of
records with Bonanzas. To this day, I
keep in touch with him, but nothing recognizable
of hi s hi storical flight
remains on this airplane. On ly logbook
entries serve as a reminder of that great
period in its history.
Perhaps the possibility exists for me
to accomplish the return fli ght from
Munich to ew York, certainly not as an
attempt to surpass Dieter's record time,
but in honour of his accompl ishment.
The first preparations for that fli ght are in
place and perhaps within the next year or
so, I will accomplish this adventure.
In 2006, Bernhard Randeroth and
eight other Bonanza owners and Beech
enthusiasts founded the European
Bonanza Society (EBS), which now has
101 members.
One of the biggest EBS events in
2008 will be the 2nd European Bonanza
Fly-In at Wilhelmshaven (EDWI) in
Germany. September 4~7 .
