![]() "Dave S" wrote in message The FAA registry shows that it is a GULFSTREAM AM CORP COMM DIV Model 695A. I am suspecting that the Rockwell/aero-commander line was bought out by Gulfstream at some point in the past, causing the Associated Press to misquote this aircraft as a G-I. AP never misquotes- just ask them. They don't print many corrections, so they must not make many mistakes. Gulfstream did own the Commander line at one time. They did attach the corporate monicker to the -690 line. Additionally, the real G-1 requires a Second-in-Command. D. |

AM CORP COMM DIV Model 695A. I am suspecting that the Rockwell/aero-commander line was bought out by Gulfstream at some point in the past, causing the Associated Press to misquote this aircraft as a G-I. The Rockwell Commander line was sold off long before there was any relationship with Gulfstream (was there ever...I forget). They're now owned/called Twin Commander's. http://www.twincommander.com/commanderhistory.htm Just for grins!! |
