Would anyone here happen to know anything about a Aero Commander that was
abandoned at the Falcon Field Airport
Mesa, Arizona before being parted out?
I understand that before someone took it apart, a group of unknowns tied a
rope to her and tried to make a glider out of the fuselage after the engines
were taken out. Apparently it didn't go very well because it crashed into another
aircraft on the field.
I was just wondering if anyone knew which aircraft it was.
Thanks,
Bert

Bert: I salvaged N265X, a 680 that had been at Chander Field. Someone had
taken a piece of hawser and tied it around the vertical fin and rudder and
drug it around a bit. There was some wing tip and leading edge damage from
hitting the tail of one of the Harpoons tied down close by. I had planned t
o
rebuild her, but found so much corrosion and skin damage in the belly, that
it wasn=B9t practical to even attempt it. We cut the fuselage right behind th
e
contol columns, just in front of the wing and just aft of the wing. I
brought home basically everything forward of the columns, the entire wing
assembly and all of the control surfaces. I would like to sell the entire
lot of parts as it looks like I will loosing my job and all probablity of
owning a flyable Commander. I don=B9t have any pictures available right now,
but can get some for anyone that is interested.
