We received word today that the Mao backed Commander factory operations in Norman, OK may have been shutdown. Phones in Norman reportedly may have been, or will shortly be, turned off. The next steps for the factory are unknown. There are preliminary reports that the parts warehouse may relocate to another state and parts sales may restart. This announcement does not mean parts for our aircraft are not available. Our existing parts resources remain with the exception of the Commander OEM factory parts inventory until we learn company’s plans for their existing warehouse parts. The company has not manufactured new parts in many years.
This announcement underscores the value of COG membership; since a paid membership provides owners with access to the COG knowledge base and additional information on part resources. As soon as we are able to learn the company’s plans to market their remaining parts, we will keep you informed. (COG paid members will receive that information first of course.) In the meantime, if the company phones are unanswered or you hear anyone promoting misinformation about being “unable to get parts” for Commander aircraft, please advise them that we have no knowledge of any COG member aircraft currently grounded due to a lack of parts availability. Membership has privileges.
