    Hi. No. I read on COG that one had some corrosion issues and he was asking too much i felt. And he was unwilling to significantly move on his price. Its N1415J. On trade a plane now.

    Good evening John,

    I hope you had a pleasant trip to Myrtle Beach. I would enjoy speaking with you about the Commander and your experience so far. It would be really nice knowing local Commander pilots. I know there is one at Lakewood N12 and I am reaching out to him as well.


    Have a great trip and Happy Holidays!

    Hi Frank. Yes was a nice but long 11 hr trip with my wife daughter and dog. If we had our plane I think it would have been a 3 hr flight:). I have an offer in on a 112A ‘76 in Washington State. It’s getting it’s annual the first week of January and then We will do the Pre buy. I’m using Savvy Pre buy assistance(1st plane purchase for me) and then intend on using their maintenance services. I had an offer on a 114A in Florida….its still on Controller. turned out to be a real dog. Definitely NOT as advertised. Tried negotiating on one or 2 others and we couldn’t agree on price.
    I think those planes will be on the market for a LONG time at what they want!! So I decided to turn my attention to the 112. A bit light on useful load but it will mostly be my wife and I. That’s when I found the 112A in the Seattle area. Seems to be in really nice condition though avionics need updating. So if the deal goes thru I will be adding a GPS/Nav/com, maybe aspen E5 and an engine monitor for sure.. and planning to change out the battery to the EarthX mod and swap out the prop for an MT. That right there will boost the useful load 60+ lbs.

    My phone number is 908-468-0102.. give me a call after Christmas and we can Chat? Looking forward

    John
