Hi Stan,
N5RE was bought by the Pennsylvania College of Technology, in
Williamsport, PA in June 2000.
It has been withdrawn from use and is now a maintenance training aid
airframe.
Although still listed as a current aircraft on the FAA database, it will
be interesting to see whether it will fall foul of the new FAA
registration policy and be cancelled during the next three years.
N5RE was formerly C-GKMV, N3RA, N15ES, N1NR & N5418.
As N5418, Certificated on October 17th 1968, and N1NR it was owned by
the Corporate HQ of North American Rockwell, in Pittsburgh, PA.
Very Best Regards,
Barry

In the latest issue of Avionics News (November 2010), I read an article
written by an instructor at the Pennsylvania College of Technology about
less-than-ideal avionics installations and the problems they cause. One
of the photos of an instrument panel looked very familiar, and I found
out after a bit of online research that it is a 1968 Turbo Commander
680W, N5RE, s/n 1818-32, that was donated to the school for training
purposes. Does anyone (Barry?) know the history of this plane? Does it
still have a valid airworthiness certificate?
The photo brought back fond memories of my dad=99s 680W (N680W,
s/n 1776-14) which, by the way, had much nicer avionics!
Regards,
Stan
