I was flying around AZ yesterday calling on several of my customers
and I landed at Saffard, AZ.
As I landed, I saw 4 Twin Commanders sitting there. What to my
surprise, there were 4 more in the Hangar.
I meet the nicest brothers, Mikel and Russell Hardy. They own 7 500S
and one B. They fly for the forest service during fire season
spotting fires. They have been flying TC for a long time.
Their fleet is top shape. The also have Ponderosa Avionics and do all
their own avionics work. The have installed air conditioning in all
their aircraft and new panels with lots of new goodies. They do good
work.
They recovered several TC form Alaska. In 2004, I saw these aircraft
for sale. 999GB has a new paint job and new avionics and will be
working fire this year. 6114X just arrived and needs work to get it
flying. The Australian 500U coast watch plane was also purchased but
the seller cut the wings off it to move it. Mikel wanted to fly it
home, but...
They also bought another TC from an insurance company to rebuild.
They need to sell an Aztec and a C-320 to make room.
It is a pleasure to see such nice aircraft and they are working for a
living.
