| Jim...............I remember that Twin Commander. Great
publicity stunt. And

still attached.

| | Back in the early 1950s, AeroCommander flew a 500,
| piston
| | powered light twin from OKC to Washington, DC with
the

of

| | Good............I remember that now.It was a publicity

that
| I saw. And it's
| | prop was still on and could have been running if
needed.
