About the Beechcraft BE-95

The Beechcraft Baron is a light twin-engine piston aircraft that became the workhorse of general aviation's twin-piston category after its introduction in 1961. Built as a more powerful successor to the Travel Air, the Baron combined the rugged airframe of Beechcraft's Bonanza lineage with twin Continental or Lycoming engines producing 260-285 horsepower each, depending on variant. The B55 Baron, which the B209 designator typically represents, featured fuel-injected IO-470 engines and became one of the most popular models in the series, prized for its docile handling characteristics and genuine single-engine performance—a critical safety feature that distinguished it from many light twins of its era.

With a cruise speed around 200 knots and useful load exceeding 1,600 pounds, the Baron found roles in air taxi operations, corporate transport, and flight training, particularly for pilots building multi-engine time. Its distinctive V-tail was never adopted—that remained exclusive to the Bonanza—but the Baron's conventional tail made it more forgiving in crosswinds and asymmetric thrust situations. Over 6,800 Barons were built across all variants before production paused in the 1980s, and the type remains a common sight at general aviation airports worldwide.

The aircraft's robust construction and parts availability have kept operating costs manageable compared to more exotic twins, though fuel burn of 28-32 gallons per hour means it's no longer economical for simple transportation in an era of $6 avgas. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
