“Unfortunately, when you reach a certain degree of flying skills in the military, you are obviously ready to supervise and end up flying a desk. What do you do when you are an experimental test pilot stuck flying a desk? You buy your own aircraft. it needed to be high performance, safe to fly and a twin. For me and my family, this meant a Beech Baron. So in 2000, I purchased a Baron 58 (TH-832) with the tail number N17979. I purchased n17979 based on the whole aircraft. I needed to be able to fly it safely in winter, spring, summer and fall. I wanted an aircraft I knew I could trust to minimums on a routine basis with my family on board. And N17979 has delivered.” – Lionel Alford
