Yes they did do jets. The 1121 Jet Commander. Later bought by IAI, re-engined and lovingly referred to as the "Jew Canoe". Westwinds are perhaps the best bang for the buck for anyone buying an older...

Well, a few years have passed and now I'm selling the Aerostar, unfortunately. We flew all over, I did my IR in her and she was a great plane. I would never have sold ever if it hadn't been for this...

Commanders look good to me, too. The later 500B's and S's are great planes and pretty much close to perfect. If they'd just made them pressurised, I would have gone down that route.

Thanks gentlemen. Glad you enjoy reading about it. Wasn't sure it was of any interest.

Ha, BPF! The dreaded double cross feed! I'll make sure to always fly that way.:ok::E

Don't have a wife or family, so that makes things a little easier. And I do always start my relationships with saying "You can never ask me to sell my plane". Maybe that's why they never stick...

The unfortunate loss of reason forced upon our dear writer by a gaggle of Aerostars.

The Aerostar fever has hit a new high.

I spent two days early this week in Dothan, AL at Aerostar World, Inc just being near Aerostars. Sitting in them, smelling them, touching them, asking the...

Well, I'm finishing my IR in my own plane, so no selling before that anyway. And then I don't want to be without an aircraft for too long because that's when the rut starts to set in. I get antsy...

BPF - the 2000ft was a response in a thread at AOA, it was not something I was planning on operating out of. Contrary to belief, I'm a rather cautious flier that values my own life. However - it was...

Is funny you should say that Tom, as the second question I asked all the Aerostar owners (after I'd asked how much they cost to run) was "how are they on grass and short strips?". The answers were...

It's a hassle, it decreases range having to fly low and it limits my options. I'm not an FBO flyer going from one Signature to the next Atlantic Aviation. I mainly land at small airports where...

Yes, you're right - the 680FP has the IGSO engines. I spoke to one owner in the Commander club who owns one and he says they burn quite a lot. Almost 55gals full pelt. That's a lot for a twin. I'm...
