Beech Bonanza, Piper Seneca, Cessna 400 & Cirrus SR22 Parts in Disassembly at BAS Part Sales
Posted by Clinton McJenkin on Apr 6th 2026
What just came into the BAS disassembly hangar is a strong cross-section of general aviation. This batch includes a Beech Bonanza, Piper Seneca, Cessna 400, and Cirrus SR22, each with its own role, reputation, and following. While the airframes themselves are done flying whole, that is not where the story ends. The next step is putting their best parts back to work where they still matter most.
A Hangar Full of Second Chances
Some airplanes arrive with dignity. These four showed up with paperwork, stories, and a very clear future in parts. Pulled into the BAS disassembly hangar together are a Beech 35 Bonanza, a Piper PA-34-200 Seneca II, a Cessna 400 (LC41-550FG), and a Cirrus SR22 GTS G6 Platinum, which is a pretty good summary of general aviation’s greatest hits if your playlist includes speed, utility, glass panels, and expensive tastes. Different missions, different eras, different personalities. Same result. Each one reached the point where returning the whole airframe to service no longer made sense, but that does not put an end to the value.
That is where our kind of work begins. We are not here to dwell on bent metal or bad luck. We are here to recover what still matters, preserve the useful life still inside these aircraft, and put quality components back into circulation for the fleets that need them. From legacy piston icons to modern composite speed machines, this group covers a lot of ground, and there is a lot worth saving in the process.

Beechcraft 35 Bonanza
The Airplane That Made Personal Aviation Look Expensive on Purpose
If general aviation has a certified swagger machine, it is the Beech Bonanza. The Model 35 showed up in 1947 with polished metal, retractable gear, a low wing, and that unmistakable V-tail, looking less like a light airplane and more like the future arriving early. At a time when much of the market still felt like a carryover from the prewar years, the Bonanza came in fast, sleek, and unapologetically upscale. It was not built to blend in. It was built to make the rest of the ramp look like it needed to try harder. More than 18,000 Bonanzas have been built across the line, and the type has remained in production longer than any other aircraft in history.
The Beech 35 matters because it helped define what the premium personal airplane could be. It gave owners speed, style, and serious cross-country capability in a package that felt modern from day one. The Bonanza family would grow into one of the most recognizable names in general aviation, but the early 35 is where the legend starts. This one, however, took a hard landing and an off-runway excursion, causing enough damage to total the aircraft. In the world of general aviation, we all know that it is not the end of the value story. It just means the value shifts. Instead of one airplane flying away, its best components now get the chance to keep other Bonanzas in the air.
That is the part we like. Not the incident, but the recovery. Good airplanes can stop flying long before every good part is done working, and the Beech 35 is far too important an aircraft to let usable value go to waste. We will recover a strong list of components from this Bonanza and send them right back out to the fleet, such as...

Cessna LC41-550FG
The Composite Rocket With Somewhere to Be
If the modern piston single world has a hot rod in business casual, it is the Cessna 400. Or the Columbia 400. Or, if you want to get technical about the paperwork, the LC41-550FG. Same airplane, different labels, which is part of why this model can get confusing in the first place. It started life under Columbia, later wore Cessna branding, and eventually got marketed as the TTx, but the mission never really changed. This was a fast, sleek composite cross-country machine built for owners who preferred altitude, efficiency, and arriving before the coffee got cold. With a turbocharged Continental making 310 horsepower, the 400 was never aimed at people who enjoy getting there eventually.
That is what makes the airplane interesting. It was not built to be a trainer, a utility hauler, or a rolling compromise. It was built to move. The type was originally certified by the FAA as the LC41-550FG, then marketed as the Columbia 400, later as the Cessna 400, and finally in updated form as the TTx. So when you see those names floating around, you are not looking at four unrelated airplanes. You are looking at one family tree with a branding department attached to it. Production ended in 2018, which only makes the remaining fleet that much more worth supporting.
This one carried too much speed into landing, ran out of runway, went off the departure end, and impacted trees, leaving the aircraft with substantial damage. That ended its career as a complete airframe, but not its usefulness. Airplanes like this are still full of value long after they stop moving under their own power, and the goal now is simple: recover the good, preserve what matters, and put quality components back into circulation for the rest of the fleet.
We’ll pull a solid lineup of parts from this aircraft and send that value right back into the fleet, such as...
- Continental TSIO-550-C / TT: 1165.4 (Prop Strike)
- Hartzell HC-H3YF-1RF/F7693DF / TT: 1165.4 ( Prop Strike)

Piper PA-34-200 Seneca II
The Twin That Did Everything
If the light twin world has a dependable middle manager with a pilot’s license and no interest in showing off, it is the Piper Seneca. The PA-34-200 was never trying to be exotic. It was built to move people, haul bags, train multi-engine pilots, and get real work done without making a speech about it first. Introduced in 1971, the Seneca came out of the Cherokee Six bloodline, which explains a lot. Piper basically took a practical, roomy single and gave it a second engine, then kept refining the formula until it became one of the most recognizable cabin-class light twins ever built. More than 5,000 PA-34s were produced through 2019, which tells you this airplane was not just accepted. It was trusted.
The PA-34-200 sits at the start of that story. It brought counter-rotating engines to the table, which helped eliminate the critical engine issue that gave so many light twins their reputation for keeping pilots humble. That made the Seneca a more approachable twin, and a more practical one too. Charter operators used them. Businesses used them. Flight schools used them to teach the jump from one engine to two. It is roomy, capable, and honest about its mission. Not glamorous. Not especially sleek. Just a six-seat piston twin that has spent decades proving that useful can be a personality trait.
Here's what we plan to recover:
- Continental TSIO-360-EB, no prop strike (LH)
- Continental LTSIO-360-EB, prop strike (RH)
- Continental LTSIO-360-EB, no prop strike (Spare)
- TT: 3699.7, SMOH: 2266.9

Cirrus SR22 GTS G6 Platinum
The Airplane That Turned Personal Aviation Into a Tech Category
If the modern piston single has a celebrity CEO, it is the Cirrus SR22. Fast, composite, full of screens, and impossible to mistake for anything built before flip phones, the SR22 changed what people expected from a personal airplane. Since entering service in 2001, it has become the world’s best-selling general aviation airplane year after year, and with 7,737 delivered through 2023, it is not just popular. It is the airplane that redefined the top end of the piston market. Add in the whole-airframe parachute system, the side-yoke controls, and the kind of avionics package that made older panels look prehistoric, and the SR22 starts to feel less like an airplane model and more like a line in the sand.
The G6 Platinum sits deep in that evolution. By the time Cirrus rolled out the sixth generation in 2017, the SR22 had already spent years setting the pace for high-end personal aircraft. The G6 brought major avionics upgrades, faster instrument processing, and the polished, premium feel Cirrus owners had come to expect. This was never an airplane for people who wanted basic transportation. It was built for owners who wanted speed, sophistication, and an airplane that felt like it belonged in the same conversation as modern luxury cars. That is a big part of why the SR22 matters. It did not just sell well. It changed buyer expectations across the whole segment.
This one veered off the runway and damaged itself badly enough to end its flying career as a complete aircraft. But airplanes like this do not stop being valuable just because they stop tracking straight. The mission now is to preserve what still matters: the components, systems, and assemblies that can go on supporting the fleet.
Its flying days are over, but its job is not, and we’ll recover a great list of components from this aircraft to support the fleet, such as...
- Continental IO-550-N Engine, prop strike
- Hartzell PHC-J3Y1F-1N Propeller, Struck
- Precise Flight Oxygen System
- Garmin G1000
GIA-63W (x2)(SOLD)- GEA-71
- GDU-1250A
- GDU-1250A

- Cleveland wheels and brakes
- Factory A/C
- NV2C-28V Compass
- TKS De-Ice System
- Astronics Max-Viz 600
- And Much More As Teardown Continues...
