Beechcraft Baron
The Baron is Beechcraft's light twin, a low-wing, all-metal airplane with two Continental piston engines and retractable landing gear. The FAA approved the first Baron, the 95-55, in 1960; the Baron 58 has a longer cabin, the G58 is its later version, and the 58P and 58TC are turbocharged, the 58P with a pressurized cabin. This site lists three pages for the family, with ICAO codes BE55 for the Baron 55, BE58 for the 58 and G58, and B58T for the 58P and 58TC. Private aircraft show specifications only, with no flight data.
