The Baron 58 is what happens when the Bonanza grows up and gets a second engine: same beautiful handling, same hand-built Beechcraft feel, plus twin-engine speed and security. It has outlived nearly every rival — new Barons are still rolling out of the factory today.
Fun fact
The Baron is one of the last piston twins still in production anywhere in the world.
How to spot one
Low-wing twin with classic Bonanza lines: same wing, same tail shape (conventional, not V). Long nose, double doors into the rear cabin on the right side.
