When it comes to restoring and upgrading a classic aircraft, the journey is just as important as the destination. March 2025 issue of the Twin & Turbine Magazine features the meticulous transformation of a Beechcraft P Baron, proving that even a 44-year-old aircraft can be given new life with the right expertise and patience.
In the latest edition of Twin & Turbine Magazine, the feature article “Remake of a Classic” highlights the author David Miller’s meticulous restoration and avionics upgrade of a classic Beechcraft Pressurized Baron, which is now a base tenant at Galaxy FBO at Addison Airport (KADS). The article shares insights from the owner’s journey—from finding the ideal aircraft and assembling the right restoration team, to extensive avionics upgrades and rigorous training.

Editor Lance Phillips said; “I had a great time taking photos for David Miller’s article on the restoration of his new Baron 58P. We woke bright and early to get an empty ramp at Dallas’s Addison Airport Galaxy FBO. David had just completed the Baron’s avionics update and training. He was still getting acquainted with everything, so we didn’t have a chance to fly it together. Hopefully, that will happen soon. “
