Looks like an Aero Commander. I'd be very interested to see how they rig
the fuel system. I recently saw Hartwig's "regular" fuel bladder list for
the Aero Commander... 22, yes TWENTY TWO bladders.

It's hard to get the FAA to approve bladders for auxiliary tanking these
will be welded aluminum boxes like most every other approved tank.

Aero Commander 500

[Jim Burns[_2_]]

Interesting, although I was referring to the standard configuration, not a
ferry adaptation, and it seems the models I was referring to are the 685 and
690. http://www.eaglefuelcells.com/assets/pn_pages/7aerocom.pdf What a
plumbing nightmare that fuel system must be.
