Two people died Tuesday morning when a small plane crashed in Weld County southeast of Ault. The single-engine Beech 35 Bonanza went down about 11:30 a.m. near the intersection of Weld County roads 80 and 43, according to Allen Kenitzer, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

The amount of Bonanza crashes in the past year or so have been awfully high in proportion to other single engine aircraft. Maybe Bo pilots need a lot more proficiency than they think.
Known as doctor killers years ago. This one had the gear down don't know what the weather was like and don't see any signs of fire from fuel in the wings either.
CAVU & winds NNW @ 10 to 20. Another fork tail, sadly. The conventional tailed A36 and F33 are much more stable than the V tail, and didn't lose their tails in a LOC event, hence the special cert. review on the 35's. Dick Collins on the subject. http://airfactsjournal.com/2012/06/tail-tale-what-was-wrong-with-v-tail-bonanza-pilots/ Again, good flying airplanes, but, not the most forgiving!
