Final Approach
This is one of the most exquistely restored Voyagers I have ever seen. I had landed just before him so I heard his radio calls. He was the consumate gentleman and sounded just like Tom D...too bad I did not have the chance to meet him.

The Westwind was derived from the Jet Commander 1121, built by the Aero Commander folks. Its parent company Rockwell Standard was bought out by North American which already had a bizjet (Sabreliner) in its catalogue, so as a condition of the merger the company had to divest itself of one of the jet programs. Thus the Jet Commander was sold to Israel Aircraft Industries. A later development, the Astra, was not long ago acquired by Gulfstream to become the Gulfstream G150 (you can see the similarity in the vertical tail dating back to the Jet Commander).

I did an insurance checkout in this Cardinal recently. Around the field, it's known as "Kermit."

I'm told it used to belong to a pipeline patrol. I'm sure the plane was easier to see than the pipeline.Wow Kenny that has got to be one of the ugliest paint schemes I've ever seen!

Thanks for destroying my thread with that pile of puke. I guess I should have put "beautiful" in the title.

Who ever picked out that paint must have been color blind.

What's the third plane in the first post? The one with the shaddow that almost doesn't look real. That right there is a beautiful turbo-prop!

I suppose I could've just looked up its N-reg. I need to find someone who owns one of those and needs a pilot!

With all respect to you, have you ever seen such a plane in person? I have and it's enough to make you want to gouge out your eyeballs.Dang, Richard! Chill, son!

Be a pilot = demonstrated ability to do the leg work. Thanks for playing.

I've seem this plane many times and the photo makes it look better. It is really ugly and the owner is proud of it.
