| Subject: | Re: Commander training |
Hi All,
I trained in my 680E with Bill Leff and just want to say that he's
more than knowledgeable, and that the training was through and very
professional. I don't know of anyone that has his range of experience
and knowledge of Commanders, nor such an absolute command of the
aircraft. I'll be going back to Bill on a regular basis for recurrent
training.
I was up in fond du Lac recently and saw where he landed on the
highway when he lost the engine on his T-6. It's really hard to
believe how low those wires were that he flew under and that he was
able to put the plane down safely on that crowded highway. Proof of
the kind of pilot he is was in that landing.......If you haven't seen
the 'cop-cam' video of the landing you click here to see it. The
video doesn't show the wires he flew under (unbelievably low) nor the
bounce over the cop car that took the movie.

Thanks, my T-6 is back flying with a loaner wing. My wing is being repaired
( I hit a 4x4 wooden sign post) and should be ready in December. I had my
spare R1340 (800 hours TT since new) overhauled and put it on the plane. The
engine on the plane is trash, the crank shaft broke!
I am back flying air shows and have done two last month and will be leaving
for another next week.
Thanks for asking.
Bill Leff

Bill-
Great to hear! We are fellow T-6/Commander owners- although mine is an
SNJ-6.
Two great airplanes.
