| Subject: | Commander 500U photo in latest B&CA issue |
In the latest issue of Business & Commercial Aviation, I noticed a photo on page
32 of a flat-nacelled Commander (N252LD) sitting at the GA ramp at the Anchorage
Airport. Just for fun, I Googled the N-number to see a bit of its history,
and found that it had been "substantially damaged" in two separate fuel exhaustion
accidents, the first on 8/4/68 in Kennard, TX, and the second on 1/6/77
in Kiowa, CO. Since the B&CA photo is a lot more recent than those two incidents,
it would appear that N252LD "took a lickin' and kept on tickin'!"

Stan,
N252LD was one of my Dad's Commanders, and he owned it when it ran out of
fuel and went down in Kenard, Texas. They had just had the fuel gauge
changed in it and it too was faulty. I have photos of it in the field that
night if your interested, send me you email address. I don't think I can post
them here. It was later involved in the accident in Colorado, same
situation, faulty fuel gauge. As for as I know, it belongs to Mr.Towner as part
of his fleet and is now N607MM. Tough Machine.

Sir Barry, All,
Was in Coer d' Alane, Idaho (KCOE) two weekends ago and took some pix. Us
ed my GPS camera to again, I apologize for the quality.
This looks to be a Gary Gadberry AC500A with most of his Shrike mods. From
a distance I was thrown off balance by a Shrike looking Commander with tw
o blade props! Sadly, this bird has not flown in quite a while. I make
that deduction based on the condition of the tires and bungees.
The winglettes look suspicious to me. They appear to be bootleg winglette
s and not the AeroDyne product, but I may just be twitchy about that havin
g seen bootlegs appear on Commanders before.
Wing Commander Gordon
