Raytheon will be celebrating three milestones this year – its 70th anniversary, the 55th anniversary of the Beech Bonanza and the 40th anniversary of the company’s fixed base operation, Raytheon Aircraft Services.

“Our Beech heritage resonates throughout our company day,” said Jim Schuster, chairman and ceo of Raytheon Aircraft.

“Our new products, the Premier 1 and the Hawker Horizon, feature game-changing technology of composite fuselages,” he added. “We’re continuing the Beech heritage of building aircraft that people not only want to own but must own.”
