Hi Phil, do you have any of the knobs left that you previously made? I’m looking for the one you had that was labeled “Propeller Knob, Mixture Knob and Non TOGA button Throttle Knob Set $155.00” that was in an old post. Thanks

Thanks Frank

I renewed my membership via PayPal off the link on the site, but my membership is not showing up. Anyone know how to fix this?

If you haven’t already heard, Judi Anderson would be a great person to contact to assist you in your search. She knows about pretty much every Commander out there flying.

In my younger days I was a jump master with several hundred jumps. I remember jumping out of a king air at the world free fall convention and the pilot would go into a steep dive after we got out at 14,500’ and you could see him dropping at the same speed or faster than we would. Belly down...

I assume a nose gear collapse on landing. At least from this angle it doesn’t look like too much body damage. Hopefully it will be flying again soon with a new engine courtesy of the insurance company due to a prop strike.

That generation was truly amazing. I fear that if Pearl Harbor happened in today’s world, we would all need to learn to speak Japanese or German.

Agree 100% with Stephen. Judi knows the history of pretty much every Commander in the USA. She’s a fountain of knowledge and an invaluable resource for your Commander shopping.

Carl, if you ever get a 114 hot shot system available, I would be interested.

Neil, we must know similar A&Ps. I know of one who not only flies instrument approaches without an IFR ticket, but also self taught himself to do aerobatics. Is risk taking part of A&P training?

Welcome Brad, You’ll find the members can be very helpful with your questions on this board. I would highly recommend talking to Judy Anderson at Suncoast aviation when you’re ready to start shopping. She knows the history of pretty much every Commander out there. I have a 114, but I’m in...

I know that this is not an “official“ fly in, but is there any sort of itinerary about the weekend? Dinners, group activities, etc.

Because it’s CNN

Since I’m only a 1/2 hr flight from French Lick, I’ll probably come for dinner, but likely head home afterwards and not stay the whole weekend.

Congrats Alex from another somewhat new Commander owner! You’ll love the plane and Judi is an invaluable resource.

I’m hoping that some of his magic rubbed off on the yoke to help us mere mortal pilots!

I have a friend at my home airport that has a nice 112. That’s how I got interested in Commanders.

I was already ready to buy it, but when I found out that this was the Hoover 114 from the old video, I knew that I had to have it! The logbook entries showing the FAA temporarily reclassifying it as experimental so that Bob Hoover could fly aerobatics in it are a piece of history.

Thanks John, I just figured out how to do that. Rob

After a few starts and stops, I’m happy to be the new owner of N4993W. Looking forward to many years flying this bird.
