His health had gradually declined over the past several years leaving him little time to work on hi s beloved Commander, N6277B. Our sympathies go out to Dan's family. And this week N6277B made its final flight from Nevada to Alabama where she will live on at a Community College teaching young men and women the art o f aircraft maintenance. A much better fate that being sent to the scrap he ap and a fitting tribute to Dan. Godspeed Dan. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:37:46 PM PST US Subject: Commander-List: Re: Final Flights From: "stratobee" Sad to hear about Dan, although i never met him. The 500 looks like she was in good shape, but apparently had not flown in a long time. Did she behave? -------- Adam Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=388376#388376 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:41:58 PM PST US Subject: Commander-List: Re: Thoughts on keeping an old 520 flying... From: "stratobee" After almost 3 months at HHR getting probed and touched un-gentlemanlike in all her cavities, the old girl took to the skies for a brief test flight today. She was happy to be up basking in the California sun and purred like a kitten with her newly overhauled prop hubs and cylinders. New metalwork on her tail feathers as well, so she shook those for everyone to see. No squawks. It's not as easy to kill an old 520 as one thinks... Personally, I was going crazy not flying for so long, so it was very nice to be back in the saddle again. Now, I'll just have to rob a bank to be able to afford that $21K check..... -------- Adam Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=388377#388377 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:45:57 PM PST US Subject: Re: Commander-List: Re: Final Flights From: Russell Legg Very sad to know of Dan's passing - he was a long term member of the Group.
