From: "stratobee" Seems like a 1966 560E is for sale on Ebay. Looks like she's been sitting for quite some time - missing tail cone and most of her aileron, flap and elevator surfaces. Anyone know more about her? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-Aero-Commander-560-E-Twin-Engine-45NE-/170608570800?pt=Motors_Aircraft&hash=item27b91031b0#ht_1316wt_864 -------- Adam Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=332181#332181 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:27:32 PM PST US From: William J Hamilton Subject: Re: Commander-List: N45NE for sale on Ebay... Folks, A Commander (probably a -500S) disappeared in the Torres Straight, Cape York area of Australia yesterday. He had reported within about 20nm of destination, but even with that limited search area, foul weather (wet season in full swing) has hampered search efforts. More details when available.

Hi Keith & Folks, Unfortunately the situation doesn't look good for this one. The aircraft is VH-WZU 500S s/n 3060 and went missing early on 24 Feb. Grid searching has turned up just a life jacket...nothing definitive. Pilot radioed a routine broadcast shortly before the time it is assumed he went missing. Mission was a routine single pilot freight flight from Cairns to Horn Island. Cheers from Oz Russell On 27/02/2011, at 4:51 PM, Keith S. Gordon wrote: > Bill, > > Any details?
