    Hi JimBob, My guess is that it's N6863S, s/n 380. It was converted from a 680 to a 680E on April 14th 1972. I know it had the Swearingen gear doors installed, but don't know when. Anything in the paperwork to help nail that date? Has it still got them? Very Best Regards, Barry ----- Original Message ----- From: yourtcfg@aol.com To: commander-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 1:44 AM Subject: Commander-List: FULL CIRCLE HI KIDS. I just had a neat experience. I flew 680 (CONVERTED TO A 680e) from a small private strip on the banks of the Columbia River, to my home airport. The new owners will be changing an engine there. I have delivered lots of Commanders over the years and even several 680s, so what makes this one different?? Well, it is the very first Aero Commander I ever actually touched!! I had dreamed of owning a Commander for a couple of years and was crop dusting in the Parlous area of Washington state, south of Spokane. I was finally in a position to buy my first Commander and really wanted to see on up close and personal. I was told that a old (even then it was considered old) Commander in a hangar at Spokane's Felts Field. The first rainy day off I had I drove to the airport to look and sure enough, there it was. It was parked in an open hangar with several other, lessor, airplanes. It was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was painted with yellow and black trim and had sweringen main landing gear doors. I thought they were stock and for a while thought other Commander owners must have removed theirs!! I spent a couple of hours just looking and dreaming of the day when I would have my own. Amazingly, we would cross paths again. Many years later and after I had owner a couple of Commanders (a 720 and a 560A), I took a job for just a few weeks flying ag for an operator in western Washington State. I owned a Beech Duke (sorry) at the time and it would not operate from the short ag strip where the Commander lived. That owner sold it to a really nice guy named Jody Maddox and after many years, Jody sold it to the new, current owners. Since neither of them have ANY Commander time, they hired me to move the airplane. It was really cool to actually fly the airplane that really started it all for me. I got to occupied the pilot seat I had longingly looked through the window at so many years ago. It went "Full Circle" jb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- McCain or Obama?

    Hey, I'm supposed to be the environmental wacko on this list. I'm gone for a couple days and look what happens. You guys start splitting molecules and running engines on water. Quit moving in on my territory. I've got a reputation to think about. Anybody remember the magnetic gizmos they used to sell to strap to fuel lines that 'aligned the ions' or some some such thing...... I'm still pretty amazed at how efficient ancient aircraft engines are at doing the job they were designed for. Especially at lean of peak. I can't find the reference anymore, but there was a good (now dated) piece kicking around discussing how a lot of the modern advances in automobile powerplants didn't translate as well to slow turning aircraft engines. Multi-valve technology, the frictional losses of geared drivetrains, and frictional losses of double and higher RPM's. Better and more efficient fuel delivery seems to be an area that could still use improvement, and better management of when you really need the extra rich mixture. Got to go out and stack some more firewood.

    Subject: Re: FULL CIRCLE
    JB, your story reminded me of this spring. It's powerful stuff across the span of time unexpectedly coming across machines you've run or made an impression on you, ain't it? In an age of computer games, ipods, and people fondling their little phones everywhere you go, I'm not sure everyone feels the same. This spring we were working way up north, and I pit stopped in Houlton Maine. Houlton is literally the end of the United States. When you depart you turn crosswind across the border of New Brunswick and the north end of Interstate 95. We taxied up to get fuel and there was an old straight tail C-310C. I always liked them, as they had the 260hp IO-470's, and the straight tail and tanks. A fast and efficient machine, and in the 70's after my Dad started his company, first was a '53 C-180 with a photo hole, and then a '59 C-310C with a hole. (I don't think he could have afforded a Commander like what he was used to flying.) Last I had heard, long after he had sold his interest out, the old 310 had its gear collapse and was written off. As we got closer to the machine, I couldn't believe it had the old N number. Sure enough, there was a photo hole underneath with a cover. It was the same machine I had 'grown up' in. Crossed the Rockies at night, flew through the Grand Canyon, and worked in all over the northeast and New England as camerman (even when just a kid). My first flying memory was sitting in my Dad's lap, trying to steer a 680E through a pair of cumulus. I never expected to be around Commanders again. Somehow, almost 40 years later, I get to drive one some for work. Life presents a lot of good, sometimes bad, and unexpected things.
