If anyone is interested the 1988 Oldsmobile that Buddy and I purchased was sold for $ 250.00. Best regards, Moe Mills N680RR Past Proud Holder of The Golden Pedal Award From: craig kennedy Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:05 AM Subject: Commander-List: Carson City Gang, It was a pleasure to meet so many Commander owners and enthusiasts in Carson City. The collective knowledge in the room was amazing and well worth the trip. Hats off to the "extra" skill sets some of you clearly possess. Like classic car acquisition, prison inmate relations, law enforcement communications, and in Morris' case, reselling the same brake parts! Dinner with R.A. (Bob) Hoover was special. Thanks to Jim (and wife), and John Towner for getting it all done. I have a technical question on my fuel system (560F) which begs some expert response. Problem. After fueling the main tank to 100 gallons, and the aux tanks to max (32.5 gal), I let plane sit overnight. The next day, 5 to 10 gallons is missing from the rt aux, but appears to have "drained" into the main. The parts manual shows no common route in my book for this kind of "cross-feed". So far, my solenoids have all been rebuild, and the vents checked to make sure they are clear. Any ideas what the problem is? Regards and thanks again for a great time.

Thanks. I could make out some name tags to put faces to the names. Overall, a great presentation of the week. The pictures of Bob Hoover were of particular value to me as I met Mr. Hoover back in the '70s when he performed in South Africa at the Lanseria airport. He autographed my program, too, which since was lost in the move to the U.S. in '93. It would have been particularly nice to meet with him again after all these years. My wife spent six days the ICU and after another week in the regular ward, she was released from the hospital this week. She still needs 24x7 care and oxygen and daily outpatient visits to the hospital for continued treatment. It was certainly not a time for me to be away. It just goes to show how quickly things can change. Thanks for asking. Well, there's always next year but there's not much hope of meeting with Bob Hoover any time soon.

Randazzo" Subject: RE: Commander-List: Re: Carson City I'm sorry to have missed you all during the Fly-In! I own a team that races at Reno- and while I had planned to take a day off to visit at the Fly-In- we suddenly found ourselves in first place (by 0.18 knots) and as such my time was completely consumed with trying to find another tenth of a knot to maintain our lead. We wound up finishing in first- but a meager 0.08 knots- so of course every member of the team is claiming that that last wax buff, or screw tightened made all the difference. (In reality- it was our race pilot. incredible work on his part to hold off a very determined competitor!) Hopefully next year's fly-in won't conflict with racing and we'll be able to make the trip to wherever it might be! Robert S.

What a GREAT time we had with the TCFG folks at the Fly-in and Reno Air Races. We still have BIG smiles on our faces from the wonderful time we had!!!! For those of you unable to attend you really need to carve time out of your schedule to come meet Peter next year -- his enthusiasm is really infectuous!!! And we could really use some more help keeping Buddy and Moe in line and out of trouble (hehe!!!) ~Jim & Sue -----Original Message----- From: Peter Bichier Sent: Fri, Sep 25, 2009 11:12 am Subject: Commander-List: Re: Carson City Fellow Commanders, Well, this is the moment some of you have been waiting for and before I get involved further in my work I'll post the photos of the meeting.

Hope your wife is recovering Nico, Dan & Teresa we missed you for sure, the night life was not nearly close to Downtown OK ... (thanks for that outing at the Wormy Dog!) we still had lots of laugh with Moe and Buddy buying a suspicious 1982 Cutlass as transportation mode... too many stories to tell!

Attending is always an absolute joy and highlight of the year. Many thanks to the Commander owners for turning up...thirteen aircraft this year...wow! Sincere thanks to John Towner for making our dinner with Mr Hoover possible and for 'floating' the Reno Races idea. Well done to Peter for capturing those many spontaneous moments that are always so thick on the ground at these flyins. Congratulations to Moe for being such a magnanimous holder of the 'Golden Peddle Award' for 2009! Be sure to put the end of September in your diaries for 2010 and plan on getting along...celebrating a decade of Commanderland...our style! Cheers Russell On 26/9/09 8:16 AM, "Robert S.
