| Reiss Turbine Bonanza |
|
|
|
This airplane was flown on four
trips Around the World by Dr. Bob Reiss in 1992, 1994, 1999, and 2003, and
was donated to the museum by Mrs. Claire Reiss. Immediately after being purchased new for the sole purpose of making “Around
the World” flights, the aircraft began an extensive list of modifications.
These included the conversion
from its original piston engine (IO-550-B) to the Allison Turbine by Soloy
Conversions under STC SA3523NM, and the installation of a 138 gallon
auxiliary fuel tank in the cabin, and a 90 gallon tank on each wing tip.
