Hi Barry,



You may already know about this one, but just to show that I also appreciate all of the great work you do, I'd like to tell you about a Twin Commander I saw yesterday at the International Airport in Buenos Aires.



Don't get too excited, because it looks like it's been there for a while, but I saw it yesterday on the GA side of the airport, opposite where the airline terminal is. My information is a bit vague because I could get no closer than a half a mile or so to it.



Anyway, it looks to me like a 680T, V, W, or 681, because of what appeared to be turbine-style exhausts and the shorter nacelle to fuselage distance. The plane is beige with light blue striping, and is missing (at least) the rudder.



I took a few photos of it as we were taking off again, since I had a window seat on the correct side of the airliner and we rotated just as we passed the Commander. I'm still in Argentina, but will e-mail a few photos to you when I get home next week. They're a little blurry, since I took them through several layers of plexiglas while moving at 120 knots or so, but maybe you will find them useful.



BTW, not much GA activity in Argentina, as far as I can tell. I've been to about six airports here in my travels and, other than a few corporate-style jets, I have seen only a Cessna 320 and an MU-2.



All for now!



Regards,

Stan

Hi Stan,



Such sightings are extremely helpful, especially when they are South of the border!

So, grateful thanks for taking the time and trouble to put finger to keyboard.



I think the one you saw is a 680V, s/n 1681-63, LV-OFX.

I have 4 shots of it parked in derelict condition.

No engines and, as you noted, no rudder.



I'll await your shots in order to compare them with those I have, but in the meantime you can see a shot of it on www.myaviation.net, taken on 01May08.

However, a later shot of it on airliners.net, taken on 09Mar10, reveals that it's been moved and has been moved just outside the airport perimeter in order to take part in a mock accident to test the response of emergency procedures.



Very Best Regards,

Barry

Hi Barry,



The photos on both sites are consistent with what I saw in person. The photo on myaviation.net shows that the right engine and prop are still in place. I didnÂ´t get a good enough look at it to see whether it was still there the other day. The plane is definitely still on the airport grounds, parked with its tail towards the runway.



Anyway, IÂ´ll be forwarding a few photos to you next week when I'm back home.



Regards,

Stan

Hi Lloyd,

 

Its bones should indeed be in Colombia and I see that you were a joint owner of N6851S sometime before it went to Colombia.

Iâ€™m going to email you an .xls file showing what I have on its history and will certainly look forward to learning â€œa long storyâ€!

 

Best Regards,

Barry

Hi Lloyd,

 

Well, itâ€™s not definite that â€˜yourâ€™ 680 is the one that ended up with the Colombian Navy, as per the photo.

Itâ€™s just that of those Commanders that I know of in Colombia, but donâ€™t know the aircraftâ€™s serial number, the shot of the Navy one is the only 680 that I know of.

There could well be others that Iâ€™m not aware of.

For instance, some military serials have been reported, but the Model hasnâ€™t been.

 

Best Regards,

Barry
