Default bad vectors, no hand off

Flew the Commanders in Seattle when I worked for Skycraft up there; flew the
6 in Tulsa when I worked for Bill Christiansen. Both are great aircraft - I
wouldn't be surprised if you can take the Commander apart and haul it in the
six.

I liked the seating in the Commander and the interior roominess better than
the 6 - but like someone else pointed out if you could get it in the 6, you
could fly it.

And I liked the Six so much more than the Commander.



Me too. I've never flown a Commander but I've got a bunch of time flying
a Six to some very nice places. Never a 260 though... always a 300. I
understand the 260 actually has more useful load... which is already kind
of scary. I used to carry 6 adults, baggage, and diving gear (except for
tanks and weight belts) from North Carolina to various spots in the
Bahamas (with staging in and out of the Vero Beach/ St. Lucie County
area). One hell of a load... one hell of a bird.

What did the guy who won the AOPA bird fly? C-130's? He's never gonna be
satisfied with a Six. Schmuck.
