Beechcraft on Instagram: "80 years ago today, an aviation icon made history. On December 22, 1945, test pilot Vern L. Carstens flew the Beechcraft Bonanza for the very first time at Beech Factory Airport. Since deliveries began in the late 1940s, more than 18,000 Bonanzas have taken to the skies—securing its legacy as one of the most legendary aircraft in aviation history. #beechcraft #aviationhistory #avgeek"
