Nice plane. Nice story.

I learned to flew and worked at the Shawano, Wisconsin airport (K3WO) I think. Back in the 1970's or early 1980's I refueled a Bonanza a couple of times that flew up the Shawano from Dallas, TX. Very similar very similar to yours with the tip tanks. If the winds weren't working against them they flew non-stop from Dallas to Shawano! What a long time.

The FBO at Shawano had a Bonanza for sale for a while with a similar paint job.

Nice job in updating an older aircraft with all the Right Stuff!
