The Beechcraft Baron is a light twin engine piston aircraft built as a low wing monoplane, first flown in February 1960 and introduced in 1961 with a pair of six cylinder piston engines rated at 260 horsepower each. It remained in continuous production for decades as a popular choice for private owners and air charter operators, before Beechcraft announced in 2025 that current orders would be its last, though parts and support would continue indefinitely.
