Subject: | Commander 685 s/n 12059 Lost track of.... |
At the risk of sounding elitist, my family owned quite a few aircraft over the
years (from the mid-60's) -- We're spread out over North America, coast to coast.
Oddly enough, of ALL the aircraft, our family liked the 685 Commander the
MOST. They found it simply the quietest, most comfortable, cabin for the majority
of our legs. I did most of the driving. (Like the rest of me, my memory
is beginning to fall apart, so some of these details might be "challenged")
In 1973/1974 we purchased a factory NEW 685 from Eagle Creek (IN) and had it interiored/avionics
in Columbus, OH. It was a pretty fine installation for both
front end and back end folks. The aircraft was based in IND (and later in BFI)
and numbered 685PE. For several years we used it extensively. It performed
flawlessly through all kinds of adverse conditions, Northern Canada to the
deserts of West Texas, having only a single failure -- #1 engine over RIC -- which
resulted in an uneventful single engined landing there. In the late 1970's,
the family sold the 685 and replaced it with a Merlin and subsequently several
other aircraft before the simple aging of the members and their geographic
dispersement made flying our own aircraft simply not feasible. But they never
forgot the 685. They have asked me to try to find it; see if it is for sale
and aquire it, or a similar aircraft, if possible. I have done some searching
but have run aground. Perhaps some of you all in the "Commander circles"
might cast some light on this quest. One caveat: I am relatively sure, but not
positive, the s/n was 12059. It might have been 12057. Any guidance, rumors,
suggestions, warnings, from this group would be most appreciated. Nick Thomas

Try Lance Aircraft in Dallas. They supply parts for AT-6's and I know they
have AN3022-10's. They may have the -11's also. It is just a momentary contact
version of that series. The AN3022-10 is part of the throttle switch assembly
p/n 34A6066 on a T-6G
Their number is 800-752-4005
