| Subject: | Internet "Back Door" to FAA Aircraft Registry |
--> Commander-List message posted by: "George J. Yundt III" <yundt@speakeasy.net>
Yesterday there were a number of messages regarding a particular Jet
Commander and a specific N Number. It seemed that there were ample replies
to the specific request, a few of which were out of date.
For your benefit and consideration, I suggest that the BEST (and it's Free)
place for information is the FAA's Aircraft Registry Database itself. It is
updated every night, and you can search by N Number, Manufacturer, Model
Type, Serial Number, Owner Name, Owner Address, Engine type, even County.
Also, this site allows you to scan for available N Numbers if you are trying
to find and reserve a special number for yourself. It's driven by Java
Scripting, so it is very easy to do queries.
Check Out: http://162.58.35.241/acdatabase/acmain.htm
Cheers All,
George J. Yundt III

HI KIDS....
I just thought I would share Sue and my great time in the Caribbean.
We spent a week on the "Adventurer of the Seas" visiting ports of call in
the southern Carib. But, before we left, we and two other aviation couples
(Dennis and Kerry Garman, retired Eastern airlines and Gary and Alyce Rankin,
press of the Navion Society) arrived a day early to tour San Juan.
Our host, Jimmy Rodregiuez, was king enough to loan us his gorgeous,
beautiful AIR CONDITIONED 500B, S/N 1. for the day!!! It was a hoot!! We left
from the Isle Grande airport in old San Juan. Jimmy was there to meet us and
take the airplane out of the hangar and wave good bye. After a preflight,
we loaded up. The moment both engines were started, I turned on the AC.
Yippee, what a great machine.
Departed to the East and made a sweeping turn to the left, right across
the top of the ship we would be boarding the next day, it was sooooooooo
cool. I followed the coastline and we were all amazed by the color of the water.
We flew around the large radio dish (used in a James Bond movie) and took
some great pix. Next, we went back to the shoreline and passed by my favorite
town, Isabelle. It is near the old B-52 base with it's 12,000' runway. We
then turned inland a bit to miss the 15,000, cable attached to the radar
balloon.
Back along the coast we made our way to the town of Pounce. Jimmy, Sue
and I spent the night there when we were in town in July. It was great to
see it from the air. I then turn back toward the beautiful lush green hills on
the center of the island. We skimmed the peaks and had a great view.
Then back to the coast. We were about 3 miles off shore when we spotted
a pod of whales!! They were spouting and easy to see. I made a circle
around them so everybody got a great look. Not to close as I didn't wan to
disturb them. A few minutes later, Dennis spotted a huge sea turtle. The rest
of
us never saw it but they can reach 1000 lbs.
From there we headed straight for the Island of Vicehies. This is the
Island that the US Navy used for live ammo training. There was a huge uproar
a few years ago and the navy sadly left. On the east end of the Island there
is still much evidence of the past activity with burned out tanks, Howitzer
artillery pieces and lots of craters. The restricted area that use to
protect area is now gone so you can fly right over it. Too Cool!!
We then turned and flew direct to the Island of Culebra. It is a great
Island. we parked and walked to the side of the road where a bus just
happened to be passing by. He picked us up and gave us a great tour of the island.
We found a wonderful restaurant on the water (I dangled my feed in the
Caribbean sea while I waited for my "Cheeseburger in paradise") What fun.
We then went back to the plane and departed for an aerial tour of St.
Thomas and St. John. We didn't stop because the cruse ship would be taking us
there in a few days but it was fun to see the islands from the air ahead of
time.
All to quickly, the day was done and we return to San Juan. We landed
next to the ship and one of Jimmy's helpers put the airplane away for us.
It was am amazing opportunity and it is impossible to put into words the
gratitude we all feel for Jimmy for his amazing gift of the loan of his
wonderful airplane. I will forever be in his debt!!
At the end of the cruse we docked in St. Thomas. We were met at the
dock by TCFG member Malcolm Ford who is just now purchasing a 560F. We had
rented a mini van large enough for all 7 of us and Malcolm spent the entire day
with us. We got a wonderful "local" tour of the island that you just cant get
any other way. We stopped for lunch at "tickle's" restaurant and say a
couple of resident iguanas. A great treat for me! Malcolm stopped at a super
cool little hole in the wall ice cream shop that served the very best milkshake
I have EVER had!! They also serve milkshakes with a little rim added. The
"Rum Runner" is known far and wide on the island. Malcolm went way out of his
way for us and we all had a super wonderful day!! Thanks Malcolm for
EVERYTHING!
While on this trip I saw several other Commanders including TCFG member
"Ticky" Hernadez 680, Capt Buck's 720 and 2, 500Bs. I also saw TCFG member
Sergio Molina flying his straight 500, twice! It was a great, once in a
lifetime opportunity to have some "Commander fun" jb
