The Bonanza’s panel upgrade is DONE! Today, we’ll fly the Bonanza home to Camarillo after a three-month Garmin avionics install at Neal Aviation (www.nealaviation.com/) and try out all the new avionics for the first time! Once we’re back at Camarillo, we’ll take a closer look at the new panel. Thank you to Garmin, Neal Aviation, Whelen Aerospace Technologies, Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics, and CiES for sponsoring this video!

As someone who has been installing Avionics mods and Garmin upgrades on King Airs, Barons, Bonanzas, Hawkers, and pretty much everything on the Beech line for 15 years, it's great to see someone enjoy the upgrades. Never interacted with customers or Pilots after the installs. EDIT: Forgot to mention that Neal did a great job!

Neal Avionics is the top tier of Avionics installers. They are much more than just an Avionics dealer. Garrett always was an innovator in the avionics industry when it comes to seeing the future of avionics. Ask me how I know. I was the Garmin Southwest Avionics Manager for 24 years and I signed up up Garett Avionics. I could just tell this fellow was something special and he proved that he was. The installations I witnessed were spectacular and his legacy continues. He’s truly an artist. Not many of those folks in this world. I’ve since retired, but it’s really nice to see my special people that are doing it well. Love to see folks that are enjoying the fruits of Garett and Garmin’s hard work.

Your excitement and pride in your a/c is very nice to watch. It's nice to see your commitment to not only the "upgrade" but a true "restoration" to keep the feel of the a/c in mind. This seems like it was a pretty extensive and costly project, but it looks like it was well worth the time and expense. I also get the sense that you benefited by first having the "older" systems and making you operate using sort of "old school" fundamentals. Now that you have all this capability, flying should be so much more enjoyable. Cheers!

Absolutely beautiful installation! Love the gauges, and how easy they are to see against the NEW black matte finish. I also like that you kept everything in there original locations. When you get used to knowing where to look and feel for something, it's always helpful. Enjoy!

So I know nothing about aviation, but I found you on tiktok back in 2020 and was always so fascinated and impressed by you. You truly are such an inspiration, keep it up! You are seriously inspiring so many people with your content.
