	Beechcraft B58P "Baron" light twin

The "Baron" series of light twins from Beechcraft is widely considered to be the most successful of its type, outlasting its main rivals from Cessna and Piper in production.  The B58 model is a later development as a stretched version of the earlier 55, with more powerful engines and three-bladed (instead of two bladed) propellers.  The B58P was fully pressurized and turbocharged. It was manufactured between 1976 and 1984.
