Rob and I were very close to purchasing her from the current owner, a disgruntled spouse who was taking her estranged toys away from him. But that's another story. She is still sitting in the grass at KMJD, Picayune, MS. after being towed from the tarmac by a chain wrapped around the collapsed nose gear adding more damage. She is too much for us to tackle for restoration and would hope someone out there would attempt to save her. We flew her just before Katrina and was wow'ed by her performance. Very original panel.

But I'm grateful for the information, which keeps the database that much more accurate.

I have a friend who is selling his 680. It is an "S" that was converted to an "E" by the factory. The airplane has older avionics and average PT & INT. I think about 500 SMOH. Needs propellers and cleveland brakes. It is hangared and was in annual until recently. It has Swerengin main landing gear doors, kinda rare. I think $65K will buy it. This is the very first Commander I ever actually touched, nearly 30 years ago!! Contact me if you are interested. jb
