I am reading WEB Griffin's new book, The Hostage.
On page 398, he has his hero arriving in a Lear 45 arriving at Jorge
Newbery Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
and they taxi by a tired Aero Commander, "Old, Battered, and worn
out". and they park next to the Aero Commander.
IT appears that they are in OZ and many other places.

If you read Griffins earlier books, Lieutenants, etc. series you will see
that the main character Lowell (rich boy who fell in love being a military
warrior) flew his personal Aero Commander on both personal and military
missions to the chagrin of many of his commanding officers. I was reading
WEB when he first published and that was when I fell in love with the most
beautiful twin in the world. I have since been lucky to have been part
owner in a AC500 for a while.
Who said Dreams don't come true? WRONG!!

Hi Steve,
L31 St. Tammany. Do you know my old friend Paul Borgatti there? We used to work together. 20+ years ago. I lived in Tchefuncta Estates.
Did you come out of Katrina OK?
No commander yet - still wishing.

Hello Carter,
No, sorry, don't know Paul by full name nor can place him in my memory. I
have lived here for 30 years and am sure our paths have crossed. If he is a
fellow pilot have him give me a call and I will enjoy his company while we
bore holes in the sky in my Bonanza. Tchefuncta Estates is right down the
road from my home in Flower Estates. You would not recognize the area post
Katrina and the new and planned constructions for the displaced New
Orleaneans as well as ourselves. I lost my home on the Mandeville Lakefront
as well as my office. Presently in an RV at the St. Tammany airport next to
my hangar.
Where are you posted presently?
Steve G.

Sorry to be "off thread" - for the forum police!
Hi Steve,
I retired from Delta in '03 and I'm now in SEA as the Chief Pilot for a start-up 747 freight operation. First airplane is coming in two weeks, so my commander searching is slowed waaaay down right now!
Sorry to hear about the damage - I'm sure I wouldn't recognize the area anyway - I moved out in 1986. I sure miss Bernice's oyster artichoke soup at the Tchefuncta Country Club!
