There are also at least one NTSB listing of a nasty firy Commander downing 

with relation to Morris.  I shyed away from him once I found this info and the 

NTSB findings.  Our little way of shedding a little truth to this otherwise 

non-perfect world...take it like a grain of salt.

<><><><><><><><><><>



I'd like to answer to the above information as someone who does not have any 

particular interest in the debate except that of historical accuracy.



It is absolutely true that Morris Kernick did plead guilty to falsifying an 

airframe log book entry. It happened with a client of mine and I'm very 

familiar with what took place. 



I believe that since that incident he's cleaned up his act -- but since I 

don't own a Commander and don't have him working on it, I can't say for certain.



The "nasty fiery downing" you mention was due to sabotage.  Period.  I can 

tell you this because I testified to the FBI during the investigation.  The 

perpetrator admitted his role to me in sabotaging the aircraft but since it was 

said on the phone the FBI determined my testimony was "hearsay" and the homicide 

case was never pressed.   (By the way, the insurance companies broke weak and 

paid off when they never should have.)



Regardless of Mr. Kernick's business ability, or lack of, there can be no 

denying that his diagnostic ability and maintenance knowledge covering all models 

of Commanders that is hard to equal.



I've sat, talked, and had lunch with many who are pissed off at Morris and 

more who think he's a hero.   



The man's knowledge is indisputable.  Therefore, I do not hesitate to 

recommend him in the role of a consultant who could spend a day or two with any 

Commander owner and mechanic and impart tons of knowledge and techniques that would 

ease their transition into Commanders.



Perhaps after serving in that role, a new Commander owner/operator could 

assess whether they'd take their airplane to Morris' facility or not.

Respectfully

I contacted Morris when I was looking for a Commander about 6 years ago.  He 

told we he was looking at one he thought I might like, but had not yet 

inspected it.  Later he told me, it was not the airplane he had been to 

believe it was and did not think I would be interested.  I appreciated his 

frankness with me, probably saved me a lot of money.  No problem here.

I have worked with Morris, and he has helped at every turn for a new  

Commander Group member /500S owner. My regret is he is $3600 worth of  fuel round 

trip from Warrenton, Va or he will be doing all my work.  Good Guy...knows what 

he's doing.

I also have a high opinion of Morris: his character, the sound advice he has given me, and the quality work he has done on my 681 since I acquired it three years ago.
