All,
I'm new to the list, glad to have found it---I've learned a lot from reading
the archives.
I'm in the early stages of looking for a Commander, and, ideally, 1-2
partners in the Atlanta area. I'm likely a 75-hr a year guy--that's just not
enough to keep an airplane happy.
Frankly, I'd rather find the partner(s) first, but if I find the right
aircraft, I may do it alone. I've been in a good partnership before, and
good partnerships can be great. The aircraft stays in the air, fixed costs
come down, upgrades are more affordable, etc. I'm in no hurry---willing to
take the time to find the right aircraft and/or partners.
From a partnership standpoint, I'd be looking for someone who broadly meets
the following characteristics:
--Relatively high time, Instrument rated, believes in professional training
--Likes and knows how to baby an aircraft
--Believes in preventive maintenance and willing to pay for it (or has an A&
P!)
--Uses an aircraft for travel, tends to plan in advance
What model? Open to discussion. Ideally de-iced, relatively modern panel,
and a reasonably new interior (if old would refurbish). Geared engines OK if
we all agree to really learn how to use them. I have many questions still
unanswered on the model front, so expect many questions!

Good Morning Alex,
I have a 1962 500A Colemill Conversion, based RMG, Rome Ga.
You are welcome to come up for lunch and fly the plane.
Sounds like you need to find a Commander or Aztec (Aztruck) I've owned both.

Gary,
Thanks for the offer--I'd love to learn more about the Coleman 500. I've
been unable to find even rough performance stats on it. Are you looking for
a partner?
Alex

HI KIDS...
Well, It will be a fun Commander weekend. It all begins
tomorrow at 8am when I will board a "crowd killer" and head non stop to
Phoenix, AZ. I will be meet by Oscar, a broker from FL. We will inspect and
I will check out in a 560F (sounds like a nice airplane) The next morning
(Saturday) I will meet up with TCFG member Jimmy Rodregiez from San Juan PR.
we will go to take a look at his new 500B, he is buying it from TCFG member
John Mcdonald (2800TT and ALL the toys including air) At noon Morris Kernick
will arrive for a pre-buy inspection. I hope to hang around, you ALWAYS
learn something new watching over Morris' shoulder. We will all have dinner
that night together, should be a blast!!! Me thinks "Commanderiese" will be
spoken long into the night.
The next morning, Sunday, Oscar and I will saddle up in the 560F and
point the nose south, way south to Panama. Hope to make it in 2 days, it
will depend on the weather and such. I plan to see the Panama cannel for the
first time and hope to see some iguanas??
Then, back to rainsville on a swear tub. I think it will be a ton of
fun and I should have 20 - 25 hours of 560F time when it is all over!!
Burning somebody eles's gas!! AND, I'll get paid to do it!! I love this
country!! Hope your weekend is a good one as well. jb

HI KIDS..
Welcome a new TCFG member, Patrick Nickles. Patrick is a
Commander owner and pilot, but not a Twin Commander, yet!! He flies a
Commander 114B, one of the new production airplanes with only 900hr TT! He
is looking for his first Twin Commander and hope the time will be short.
Welcome Patrick. jb
