A drag race over the California desert There's no consensus within this flying club-nor the broader general aviation population-on which of these classy six-seaters is the superior airplane. The Beechcraft Bonanza has been in continuous production since 1947, longer than any other aircraft in the world, and the A36 (now G36) is the top of that line. The Cessna 210 was produced for 29 years (from 1957 until 1986), and the fixedgear variant (Cessna 206) is still being made. The 210L and A36 have been made in almost equal numbers (2,126 Model 36 Bonanzas and 2,070 210Ls). www.aopa.org/pilot AOPA PILOT | 75http://www.aopa.org/pilot
