I tell you, the Aero Commander spirit is in the air!



Did any one see the presidential debate?



Within seconds the moderator Jim Lehrer opened the questions with a quote from President Eisenhower in his 1952 campain: "we must achieve both security and solvency, In fact the foundation of military strength is economic strengh." 



and then Senator McCain on a response went on talking about the two letters President Dwight David Eisenhower wrote on the night of the Normandy invasion to give an example on accountability.



Amazing how an airplane can connect us with history.



great present for Aero Commander's 60th!



it really must have been big to have a GA plane been approved as Air Force 1.



by the way, can any one id the gentlemen in front of the officer on "my album" photo # 56?

Hi Peter,



As you correctly postulated...that is President Eisenhower with his hand on

the Commander!



Cheers from Oz

Hi Folks,

 

 Please see the fascinating insight from John below on the ‘Presidential Commander Fleet’. John is still unable to write directly to the list.

 

 Cheers from Oz

 Russell,

 

 For some reason my computer will not let me e-mail to the chat page but I can e-mail to individuals.  As a follow up one of our pilots on his layover in Joplin MO found a book in a used book store for $.25USD "The Flying White House" that told the story of how President Eisenhower came to like Aero Commander and how he made his "Secret Service" pilots go to Bethany and them checkout.  The story goes that they actually purchased 15 Commanders total.  If you will send me your address down under in OZ I will send you a copy of the pages from the book that tell the story.  If you want to share this e-mail with the chat page it is fine with me.  I will copy Sir Barry in too our "Commander Historian"for he might enjoy the story but very possibly already knows the story.

 

 YOUR old FRIEND,

 

 John Towner
