We had an awesome time and are still wearing big smiles from the memories!! Couldn't ask for a greater group of people to spend a few days with telling stories, laughing and talking Commanders. We'll let Moe tell you about a special pair of boots he received/won at au ction for being such a "kick ass pilot" A big thank you to the group of attendees for your generosity in raising ov er $2,000 for the Blue Goose restoration!! WOW!!! If you've never attended you really need to make it a priority to come next year and meet some of these incredible people. You're guaranteed to have a great time. BTW. we're taking suggestions on where to have the event nex t year -- some suggested venues include the Washington DC area, Branson, MO , and Colorado Springs. ~Jim & Sue Metzger P.S.

From: "stratobee" Hi. My left engine did not develop full power on my way out of Chicago to get to the fly-in and I had to abort, which was really sad after have come all the way from California to join you for the first time. I was devastated. Anyway, two cylinders were down and after I finally found a guy to pull them on the field he saw stuff he didn't like and he wouldn't sign off on just repairing the cylinders. The oil ring had disintegrated and they found metal in the engine. Now, he might be "overreacting", having never worked on Commanders or old engines before, or he might have a point. Nevertheless, regardless of which I'm in a bad pickle - aircraft stuck 1800 miles away from home on an executive field with mostly big jets and the parking pricing of Signature and Atlantic... I have JimBob and Morris with the ear to the ground and trying to find a solution for me and I'm very grateful for that. But I thought I'd consult the board as well - does anyone know of any GO-435's in decent shape, or known to fly, with papers, or no papers, that could eventually be for sale anywhere reasonably? I need to resolve my situation and get her back home. I fear this could take months and months again if I don't act swiftly and the parking at $30/day will ruin me... I'm very disheartened at the moment. -------- Adam Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=352812#352812 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:13:56 PM PST US Subject: Commander-List: GO-435...
