Just acquired a 112

[Martin Skiby]

Hello COG,

We just acquired a 1973 112 that needs some love. She is a good plane with a tough history, but we are committed to bringing her back to pristine. She has been with the previous owner for 10 years and lived outside in MT. Has been a great plane with lots of use, and we are committed to keeping this going. My son is an A/P and my wife also a pilot so the plane will get some good use. if not for this group we would have maybe passed on this great plane. I have wanted one for many years but have always been talked out of them.

We have owned may single and twin engine planes so are no stranger to this world. I hope to also be a contributing member of the group.

Thanks.

As one of my friends used to say, "Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff..." We're a lot more impressed by someone saving a Commander from a fate worse than death than we are by perfect spelling and grammar! Welcome to COG.

Welcome Martin and good luck with your new bird. How about a few photos (before and after). You'll find that the Commander Gang is a wealth of knowledge, especially about parts.

Martin, congratulations and welcome! You'll love the airplane. We bought our 112A 4 years ago and love it! It may not be the fastest 4-place airplane out there, but comfort, style and handling is first rate. Part's and support have not been any more of a problem than some production Cessna and Pipers I've seen. COG members and the forum are INVALUABLE. Glad your bird found a good home.

Welcome to the group. I have a 112A myself and have traveled from Tennessee to Oregon several times and loved it.

Welcome to the group. I have a 112 (#86) based at Palomar Airport in Carlsbad and find it perfect for flying around CA & AZ. If you ever want to meet for lunch somewhere midway between our locations, let me know.
