Since its been pretty quite here lately, I thought I'd share a story with you.
Many years ago my Father purchased the first 681 Hawk built, serial number
6001, N9051N it was the demo unit and used in most of the advertisements.
While refueling at Denver Beechcraft shortly after it was purchased, our
Pilot ran across two King Air pilots who smugly asked him, "Zack, don't you find
that Commander to be awful noisy?"
To which Zack smiled and replied, "You know, when you pull it back to King
Air speed, you can hardly hear it running."
Have a Good Day,
Bert

Hi Bert,
Thanks for the great story!
Do you know if there was any significance to the N-number?

| Subject: | Oil Cooler baffle |
--> Commander-List message posted by: "Ray Mansfield" <hcourier@cox.net>
Hello,
I'm in need of two oil cooler baffles for an Aero Commander 680 FLP with the
Mr. RPM Conversion. The fiberglass baffle presently attached is getting worn
and has been strengthened by maintenance a couple times. Couldn't find one
through normal channels. This is the baffle that directs air over the oil cooler
on the front under side of the engine. Does anyone know who might have one.
I've been fortunate in the past in finding parts through this website. Any
help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Ray Mansfield

Hey Ray,
I have a mold for fabricating that baffle and would lend it to you. It is
our busy season so no time to fabricate them for you send your shipping
address.

Thanks Mike. I'll see who else responds and also talk to maintenance folks
and see if they could make one with the mold. Sounds like a good idea.
I'll let you know.
Ray M.

I have been flying Turbo Commanders since 1972 starting with 681's(N9020N
SN6024 and N9129N SN6056) and an still flying them. In fact I flew every model
including 695A SN96096.
In fact I just flew a 690A today. For all of those years I have had to
listen to all for the BS from the King Air pilots about what a great airplane a
King Air is vs. a Turbo Commander.
This year I started flying a King Air 300. After going through the Type
rating training I have to say: A King Air is a nice comfortable airplane but,
it
does not hold a candle to a Turbo Commander when it comes quality of design,
manufacture, flying qualities, efficiency and well designed systems!
Viva Turbo Commanders!
