JB-
Added some links to the Pilot page on the Aerocommander.com site.
They should be helpful for heading down there or for flying in the US. Try visiting
Daisy for weather too, she'll have any METAR and TAF info for any reporting
station in the world updated hourly. She also has a few surprises of her own...

Hi,
I'm new to this group...
I'm looking for performance specs for a Shrike Commander - I'm writing a novel
and I reference a Shrike in the story.
I really should learn a bit more about it - the only thing I know is it is a younger
sibling of the 500U, with origins in the 520/560. I believe the designer
was Ted Smith, who originally designed the Douglas Havoc/Boston, Invader, and
then went on to design the Aerostar.
(The only other things I know about the Shrike are that it is the most beautiful
twin in the air today, and that it was made famous by Bob Hoover - yes, I saw
him do his one engine roll at Lanseria in South Africa many years ago.)
Thanks,
Andrew Watson

Hi Andrew.
I was just casually reading through your message until where you mention
that you saw Bob Hoover at Lanseria. That's exactly where I saw him and had
him sign my program (which was since lost when we moved to the US in 1993).
Imagine that!
Being a commander nut (had a straight 500 in SA for a long time) I couldn't
help but momentarily recall that nice day in the Transvaal.
Where are you guys living now?
My direct email is nico@cybersuperstore.com

Andrew,
Boy, did you come to the right place to get a bunch of information.
The short story is that the A/C 500 B, U, S evolved from the earlier round
cowling Aero Commanders. The 500 B, U, & S were the first to have flat
nacelles. I lump the B, U, and S together since the all use the same
engine. The U and S as later models had long noses, eye brow windows, and
front doors added as standard. These also show up in the B models as later
added options. Bob Hoover flew the S model.
www.aerocommander.com is the web site with a number of photos. On this site
you will find technical specifications. There are none for the S. They are
the same as the U model for all practical purposes. You will find photos of
the 500 under the short speedline section.
That was the short answer. Want more?

No photos on the web site? Dan? What's UP?
The spy novel writer wants a photo for the cover of his book!!!
Go to the plane of the month and you will see Tom's 500B.
