HI KIDS.
I just returned from delivering another Commander to the A&P school in Alabama. This was a 560A, S/N 264 (N2764B). It was an uneventful flight. I picked the airplane up in San Diego (SEE) and flew it to Commander Services in Stockton (CSK). Morris Kernick and I worked a couple of days addressing some issues (the airplane had not flown in at least 8 years). We found no major problems, except advanced surface corrosion that made a restoration unlikely. Mechanically she was sound. I left SCK on Fri morning and stopped in Cortez Co. for fuel. Then to MacCalister OK for the night. The next morning I flew on to the destination, Ozark-Enterprise Community College (71J). A total of about 15 hours. The airplane ran great and could easily have been fueled and flown back across the US!! The school will keep this airplane and the last one I delivered together to teach students about hydraulics. They call it a "full system" approach as the airplanes remain intact and students get to work on "real" airplanes as opposed to mock-ups. Maybe someday they will be retired and sold as surplus and restored?? At least for now they are safe and secure in a new hangar. jb
