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
