Re: 2009 Alaskan Tour Hey All! Made it home at 8:30pm and had a blast on the return trip. The Alaska trip was one of the top ten experiences of my life, there is no simple or profound way of capturing that. I met some great Commander people and that was a bonus to the expected exalted...

Re: Gas Spring Door Stays Richard, I agree and think the gas springs holding the doors open against the prop wash is the best thing about the installation. Its hot and sticky here in Louisiana and having the breeze from the big fan up front blow through the cabin helps dissapate the heat sink...

Re: Commander Vs Airliner Bill you got it in one! We used to call elastic bands and also elastic catapults 'gutties' for the same reason.
