When I first bought my Commander (2000) I bought some baseball type hats with
a head on view of a commander and the words AeroCommander written above it I think,
they had them in white and blue, several years later I order some more and
they no longer had the picture of the plane on the hat. I really would have
like to had the 'bird do-do' on the bill like a Captain's hat or military field
grade or whatever.
I ordered these I believe from one of the Commander service centers.
Does anyone know where you can still order the Commander hats that have a head
on view of the airplane?

Roland;
I am hopeful of getting a picture of one of my hats. If I am
successful, can you give me your email address and I will send an
attachment directly to you since we can't do it on this website.

Roland,
Attached is Twin Commanders logo which includes a head on outline.
I am with new laptop and no editing software so am sending it directly
to you. Cut and paste should work nicely.

Subject: | Re: Blast from the past... |
Barry,
I own serial # 173, a 1954 model straight 560. The logs show it flying
out of New York I believe. I found a small patch of fabric stuck to one
of the re-upholstered seats - black and white with turquoise and some
black leather. It's been repainted but I did find some robins egg blue
in spots where the repaint peeled.
I'd appreciate any history you might have on this bird?

Hi Scott,
I'm not sure if this helps, but the factory names for the original
paint on your 560A (L-26B) were Polar White & Baltic Blue.
As to the paint manufacturer's code or colour, I would suggest
contacting either the Wright-Patterson Museum in Dayton, Ohio or Mr Bill
Duff, at J W Duff Aircraft Co., in Denver, Colorado.
The museum has one of the two Models 680 that Ike used and Mr Duff
restored it for them.
It was in his yard for parting out when someone pointed out the
significance of the aircraft.
I seem to recall that there was a very thin Gold trim between the Blue
& White and the tin of paint cost something like $400, with only a very
small amount actually being needed!
I cannot remember if I've sent you the history of your Commander.
If not, let me know and I'll email it to you.
One question:
It was built as a Model 560A, with Lycoming GO-480-D1A engines (275hp)
and Hartzell HC-83X20-2C/8433 propellers.
However, I have reason to believe that at some stage, probably after
it was transferred from the USAF to the US Army, it was converted to a
560A(HC), with Lycoming GO-480-G1B6 engines (295hp) and Hartzell
HC-83X20-2 propellers.
From any paperwork you have, are you able to confirm this and if so,
the date the up-grade was signed-off as being completed?
If so, is the full designation of the propeller hub Hartzell
HC-83X20-2C?
Also, which propeller blades were then installed? Were they 8833-2?
Very Best Regards,
Barry

Hi folks. speaking of vintage paint jobs on old planes, I am
planning a return to the original paint scheme as delivered on my 1955
L26A, serial number 55-4638. I have some nice info on the positioning of
paint and graphics but need the code or mix of the blue. I am under the
impression it was a factory scheme and color. Cobalt Blue was the name.
I guess Ike liked the plane as Aero Design delivered it and said leave
it as it is. Hence the first Presidential plane with the enduring Blue
and White scheme we still see today. If anyone has that info I would
appreciate the help. Interior colors too.

Nice paint scheme. Old round airplanes look good with vintage
schemes. And they look dorky with pointy noses.

Of course, it did receive the Schuermannization process.....
couldn't help it. You can see a few before and after pix at:
Chris,
First off, I am not old. I've just been 18 several times.
Next, after looking at the Schuermannization of that sweet potato with
wings, I think you would be well served by an intervention.
All that incredible effort should have gone into a Commander. ;
That would have been sane. However ...
(Nice work, by the way!)

I still have the Apache 150's that I got my multi rating in. It is a
vintage 1957 and it is a blast to fly. It serves as a spare for when
the 500S is in service. My wife especially likes the Apache because the
"tube" is an excellent "OH-SHIT" handle as she is not the most avid
flyer. The tube is a carry over from the preceding tube and fabric
structure.
