Hi Stan!
There is no significance to the 'N' number, N9051N, for the 681 that Bert
mentioned.
It was one from a batch of 'N' numbers in the N90xxN range, allocated to the
Aero Commander Division of North American Rockwell by the FAA.
These batches usually consisted of 100 'N' numbers, provided none in the batch
were in use at the time. It was then up to the Manufacturer to assign any one of
these 'N' numbers to any particular airframe.
Very Best Regards,
Barry

| 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."
|

I'm wondering if anyone here has scene either of these two old commanders, N2DB
which is a 690, or that old Hawk which is now N22RT? Just wondering if they
are still flying or if they have been scrapped.
Bert

Hi Barry,
Thanks for the info. I figured if anyone knew, it would be you!
I have in a display case a promotional model of a 681 with the N-number
N9228N. Any significance there? And while we're on the topic, I have one
other promotional model with a Canadian registration number. It looks
like it might be a 695 and it has a registration of C-GPDX.
Regards,
Stan

Hey Stan,
N9228N was one of my father's 690's that later became N12BU and then N2DB. I'd
like to see a photo of it if possible. I'll send you one when we owned it.
Bert

Hi Stan,
N9228N was another of the batches allocated by the FAA to the Aero Commander
Division of North American Rockwell.
It was assigned by them to a Model 690, s/n 11028 and it's one that Bert Berry
will know as it was purchased by Berry Brothers General Contractors Inc!
C-GPDX was a 690A, s/n 11319 from December 1995, to March 2002, when it returned
to the USA as N690AJ, now N690GZ.
Very Best Regards,
Barry
