HI KIDS...Sue and I just returned from a 12 day road trip from Portland Maine to Portland OR!!  The trip was a blast stopping at Nigeria Fall, The Ford museum and MT Rushmore.  The reason for the trip was to end the life of an old Commander with dignity.  N6000N, a 560E, has made her last flight.  My evolvement with her began a couple of years ago when Morris Kernick and I used her to venture to Galena Alaska to rescue a 680 Commander form years of neglect and fly it to a new home at an A&P school in south AL.  Then, last year N6000N was purchased by a corp in New Jersey.  It is a bit of a sad story.  The old gal had deteriorated from years of "Alaska Maintenance" to the point of no real return.  Sadly, the N.J. Corp dumped many thousands of dollars into her in all the wrong places.  In the end, she was flown to Northeast air, a Commander service center, for an annual inspection.  During her stay she caught the eye of an FAA rep and was grounded (I still have the tag on the door handle).  With no hope of saving her now, the N.J. Corp (they now own a Citation) donated her to Wings of Hope.  W.O.H. placed her on ebay and the rest is history.  But not to worry!!  While as an airplane she had no value, as parts she will live on!!!  Her propellers, spinners and many other small parts are already installed on a 680E, N4278S, owned by a TCFG member from Ohio.  I then loaded all the rest of the "Good Stuff" into the rented truck, and Sue and I brought it home where it will all eventually make its way into other Commanders.  I still have the engines, Cleveland brakes, all control surfaces, landing gear and many other bits available.  She will see that many other Commanders live on!!  jb

Hi JimBob,

 

Sad to see another Commander ‘bite the dust’, but good to know that parts from s/n 531 will keep others flying.

 

Any chance you rescued the s/n plate for me?

 

Best Regards,

Barry

HI LLOYD.

 Yes, they are the same.  These brakes are in great condition with fewer than 200 hours since new.  They will include EVERYTHING to install them including the STC and installation instructions.  I am asking $3000.00, including shipping (about 1/2 of new price).  You will love them!!  Give e a call at 360-903-6901.  Thanks!!!!  jb
