If so, are they willing to drop me off there as talking freight? I will, of course, be more than willing to make a contribution towards the fuel costs.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with current or historic information on the Aero commander 500A in reference to problems with the wing spar. I have N 800AC which I have been working to get airworthy for the last few years and was down to one last problem. I had a fuel leak which you could smell in the aft cabin. When they pulled the center fuel bladder out to repair or replace they found the wing spar in my plane to be 50% deteriorated. Are there any ADs or service advisories which would have covered this problem in the past? Where can I get replacement parts? Thanks, Jim ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:04:57 AM PST US From: "Moe - Ross Racing Pistons" Subject: RE: Commander-List: 2006 Fly-In and Convention Hi Barry, I should be leaving Dayton fairly early Sunday morning, and would be delighted to drop you off in Oakie City.
