Jim Peitz - One-of-a-Kind Bonanza

Jim Peitz has been flying since the 1970s and began teaching himself aerobatics in 1992. He has over 20,000 flight hours in over 100 different types of aircraft!

Each Air Show season, he can be found at shows across the country with his F33C Beechcraft Bonanza. Each performance he puts the aircraft through a truly unique aerobatic routine full of loops, point rolls, barrel rolls, snap rolls, Cuban eights, hammerheads and more! While aerobatic maneuvers are unusual for a Bonanza, Jim makes it looks easy with his expert skills!
