Remarks

N13MK Story:

N13MK is the quintessential example of an extremely well maintained and correctly operated, classic Beechcraft. If you'll peruse the airplanes comprehensive logbooks, you'll surmise it's had continuous, professionally applied maintenance, repairs, alterations and updates. In fact it's among the most superbly well cared for airplanes you'll ever encounter. Take a look at the precisely indexed and well documented logbooks. You'll find an excellent library of Form 8130-3's, yellow tags, and maintenance releases etc. for all work scopes performed. And they're easy to read and follow. Our friend (I'll call him Capt. B.), owned the aircraft from 1989 until his contribution of M13MK to the museum in 2021. And did he ever stay on top of things! Included in the aircrafts historic records are virtually every receipt and invoice for work done during Capt. B's ownership. And if you tabulate all the monies spent during that time period for repairs and updates, you'll discover an absolutely remarkable $523,877.26 paid out for work on this amazing airplane. And it wasn't spent on fixing up a clunker, but on good, sound, ongoing maintenance and updates!   

One more eye opening bit of info. If you'll take a look at the many sign offs for work and inspections performed on this aircraft, you'll see the name Robert "Bob" Ripley scattered throughout. In fact Mr. Ripley signed off the airplanes last annual inspection! For those of whom aren't familiar with Bob, he's the Beechcraft Bonanza and Baron technical knowledge and application expert in the business! He's the Grand Master from the American Bonanza Society of whom travels the country performing very eye opening maintenance seminars for Bonanza and Baron owner/operators. If you ever witnessed a Bonanza put through Bob's professional scrutiny, you left the seminar a much more informed and perhaps somewhat humbled pilot/owner!

Take a look at the photos. Let us email you the aircrafts comprehensive logbooks. Call and ask all the questions you wish. And if all looks good to you, come visit us at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum in Tullahoma, TN. (About 1 hr. south of Nashville Int'l. Airport). Plus, here's my standing guarantee. If you come see N13MK and it's not as I represented to you, I'll personally refund your airline tickets both ways. Fair enough? Give Kirby Totty a call at 615-972-7423 email: k.totty@comcast.net              We'll keep the light on for you!
