                                           By the late 1950s Bonanza had been granted a Los Angeles to Phoenix route (albeit with stops
                                           in Riverside and Blythe in order not to compete too much with the big boys).  Around about 1958
                                           the livery was changed to the orange cheat-line with the big "B" on the tail scheme as seen on this
                                           DC-3 at LAX in 1959.   The fleet was also re-registered at this time, N485 being the previous
                                           N15564.
