As we speak a small team from Oz [including Graeme Thom (TCFG Member)] is eplacing hoses, doing engine runs and generally bringing it back to life. All being well the aircraft will be ferried back to Australia (via Darwin) in arly November where it is likely to be used on fire-spotting activities. This is great news and ensures the ongoing 'well-being' of another Twin ommander downunder!

The trip was a blast stopping at Nigeria Fall, The Ford museum and MT Rushmore. The reason for the trip was to end the life of an old Commander with dignity. N6000N, a 560E, has made her last flig ht. My evolvement with her began a couple of years ago when Morris Kernic k and I used her to venture to Galena Alaska to rescue a 680 Commander for m years of neglect and fly it to a new home at an A&P school in south AL. Then, last year N6000N was purchased by a corp in New Jersey. It is a bit of a sad story. The old gal had deteriorated from years of "Alaska Maintenance" to the point of no real return. Sadly, the N.J. Corp dumped many thousands of dollars into her in all the wrong places. In the end, she was flown to Northeast air, a Commander service center, for an annual inspection. During her stay she caught the eye of an FAA rep and was gro unded (I still have the tag on the door handle). With no hope of saving her now, the N.J. Corp (they now own a Citation) donated her to Wings of Hope. W.O.H. placed her on ebay and the rest is history. But not to wor ry!! While as an airplane she had no value, as parts she will live on!!! Her propellers, spinners and many other small parts are already installe d on a 680E, N4278S, owned by a TCFG member from Ohio. I then loaded all the rest of the "Good Stuff" into the rented truck, and Sue and I brought it home where it will all eventually make its way into other Commanders. I still have the engines, Cleveland brakes, all control surfaces, landin g gear and many other bits available. She will see that many other Comman ders live on!! jb title=http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Commander-List href="http://w ww.matronics.com/Navigator?Commander-List">http://www.matronics.com/Naviga tor?Commander-List ref="http://forums.matronics.com">http://forums.matronics.com ref="http://www.matronics.com/contribution">http://www.matronics.com/c ======================== =========== -= - The Commander-List Email Forum - -= Use the Matronics List Features Navigator to browse -= the many List utilities such as List Un/Subscription, -= Archive Search & Download, 7-Day Browse, Chat, FAQ, -= Photoshare, and much much more: - -= --> http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Commander-List - -======================== ======================== =========== -= - MATRONICS WEB FORUMS - -= Same great content also available via the Web Forums! - -= --> http://forums.matronics.com - -======================== ======================== =========== -= - List Contribution Web Site - -= Thank you for your generous support! -= -Matt Dralle, List Admin. -= --> http://www.matronics.com/contribution -======================== ======================== =========== ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:59:44 AM PST US Subject: Re: Commander-List: SO OTHERS MAY LIVE From: yourtcfg@aol.com Sorry Barry, no.
