I flew for that company for nearly 10 years before hanging it up. Logged about 10,000 hrs in their planes, mostly night. Loved that plane, built like a tank. Had 6 engine failures. Bu tje grace of God and what else I do not know, I am still here. I am so sorry Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060827553081940333.post-59641819958597480372014-11-21T15:59:09.274-05:002014-11-21T15:59:09.274-05:00I have seen this fleet of aero commanders ..They a...I have seen this fleet of aero commanders ..They are not properly maintained..using wornout parts to replace totally worn out parts usually ends up like this a crash...Check the fleet ..I was told these planes burned as much oil as they did gas.
