|
Talked to Peter Oneil who is taking apart a 1959 560E (N175SP) ex N6SP S/N 783 advertised in Barnstormers.com.
He says the plane was lost due to fuel contamination by the way...
Strangely enough, he mentions the engines are low time GO-480B (I thought 560E had C1 or G1-B6)
Anyways, he has it in his hangar and taking it all apart... says some body parts are salvageable, flight controls, etc.
He can be reached at oneilp70(at)gmail.com (oneilp70(at)gmail.com) or 904-501-6021.
Email him and if he does not answer, call him at that number. (I'll email him to give us more detail description of what's available).
Guys (& Gals) don't let ANYONE fuel your airplane without your presence!
Barry, did this bird had the fuel cap modification on it?
Take care,
Peter

A 680E crashed in Lakeland, FL, about 13 or 14 years ago because of that -- fuel selectors set on the outboard tanks for take-off. On top of that, the pilot was unfamiliar with the Aero Commander and had just finished up instrument training in a Beech Dutchess which added to the mishandling / confusion of the aircraft's systems and operating procedures.
How experienced in make/model and Aero Commanders, in general were the pilot and the safety pilot? That's all part of the mix.

Hi Peter,
N175SP (560E s/n 783) was the one that was damaged beyond repair at Jacksonville, FL on August 31st last year.
On a 560E, the engines should indeed be GO-480-C1B6 or –G1B6.
I don’t know about the fuel cap mod., as I don’t track such items.
Best Regards,
Barry
