Walt & Pete
True that N36B (cn E-3584) is an A36. It was not built in/before1976.
A36's were first mfg'd in 1970
Pete's photo, taken in 1976, a Beech A36 mfg in 1975 and was registered as N36BP is actually c/n E-663 (or E663 in faa files)
In 1976 was owned by RD Aircraft lease Munster,IN
It is currently listed as N100VH Sonoma,Calif (faa lists as EXPIRED as of 3/21/2012)
cn: E-663 N36BP to N100VH (oem 1975)
cn: E-3584 N36BP to N36VP (oem 2005)
Hope this clears it up...
