				Oddly enough I am in Toykyo reading about spar problems in all commanders.  Google "Aero Commander" on the first page is a hit on "wikipedia" then a article on adey murphey's crash click one of the links and it takes you to the sj swift report.

 Jim,
 Some info.
 If I can find an actual link, I will send it, in the meantime, try  Google:

 Chronicle=92. Proceedings of the 18th Symposium of the
 International Committee on Aeronautical Fatigue, 
 EMAS, Melbourne, Australia, pages 507 ' 530.

 I was wondering if anyone could help me with 
 current or historic information on the Aero 
 commander 500A in reference to problems with the wing spar.
 I have N 800AC which I have been working to get 
 airworthy for the last few years and was down to 
 one last problem. I had a fuel leak which you 
 could smell in the aft cabin. When they pulled 
 the center fuel  bladder out to repair or replace 
 they found the wing spar in my plane to be 50% deteriorated.
 
 Are there any ADs or service advisories which 
 would have covered this problem in the past?
 Where can I get replacement parts?
 
 Thanks,
 Jim

 Jim,
 Try this, I was looking everywhere but the obvious place, I was 
 talking to Swift today, it doesn't altogether surprise me he rides a bicycle.
