Michael,
Welcome to the Commander Owners Group. 42w is hangared at KCFO and I live in the Denver area. So in theory we should qualify
.
Right now 42w is having a little work done on her autopilot in Tulsa and I expect to bring her back home in a week or so.
What part of Denver is home for you and what are you looking for or thinking about? and what’s your timeline like?

Hi Dean, thank you for the quick reply.
I live in the Greenwood Village area, close to Centennial KAPA, but it’s a quick trip out to KCFO and that would work great.
Assuming I like it, which I’ll bet I will, I would be interested in setting up a partnership at Centennial Airport with three or four other pilots and purchasing a commander 114,114B or a Super Commander.
I have about 900 hours total time, am single engine instrument rated, and I’ve done most of my Flying in Cessna 172’s, 182s, Cirrus, and Diamond aircraft. I haven’t flown in about four years, because the cost of renting Cirrus and other aircraft got to be out of control.
Thanks again!

Michael,
The depending on your “mission” the 114 could be a great choice. Hot summer days, altitude, and density altitude have an impact on performance.
The bulk of my flying has been down south or east. The 114 is great. When I go west over the Rockies or during hot summer days, I just need to watch density altitude and have never had an issue.
When I get 42W home in the next week-ish (my job, them getting the auto pilot work done, weather and s commercial flight to Tulsa) we can meet up at KCFO and you can have first hand experience.

Michael,
Our annual national fly-in is coming up in a couple of weeks in Branson, MO. Looking like 35-40 Commanders are registered to come. I expect you might find multiple opportunities to try out various flavors of Commander and get some diversified first hand information. You are welcome to come.
