Question for airplane buffs
Yesterday I was out in my yard and a couple of WWII fighter planes flew over my house from NW to SE. I couldn't get to my camera
in time to snap a picture. Today I heard a couple of planes flying over and grabbed my camera. I could tell by the sound they were moving fairly fast. I had only a 300mm lens on it and by the time I got outside they were about 3 or 4 miles away; and that's past the extreme for a 300mm lens. They weren't WWII craft but I snapped a photo. I noticed the V shaped tail. Anyone know what they are? DSC_6108 by John Danley, on Flickr

What was wrong with V-tail Bonanza pilots? | Air Facts Journal
https://airfactsjournal.com/2012/06/...was-wrong-with... Jun 11, 2012 · A few commenters compared the discussion with ones about the Beech V-tail (Model 35) Bonanzas a long time ago. That airplane was actually referred to by many as the “V-tail doctor killer” back in its heyday. If anything, the V-tail Bonanza was even more controversial than the Cirrus. Author: Richard C |

Are they the ones where the yoke rotates to either seat?

You would have a field day down here with your cameras Pogo Florida is loaded with old WWII plane museums. Nice one in Deland few miles from here.
Florida Air Museums https://floridareview.co.uk/things-t...da-air-museums Every so often the old WWII planes fly over the house. But about once a month the fighter jets come screaming over on the way to the Pine Castle range. I used to run out to look now I don't even look up.

Dr. Killers. At one time a lot of doctors bought them and many got killed in them for lack of training on their "runaway rudder' condition. Very good planes though.

I owned a C-model bonanza for 28 years, it was fast and a great flying airplane.

The Fouga Magister trainers used that same "V" tail, copied from Beech. It's a very efficient design.
