Could anybody advise what the "typical" use of an Aero-Commander 500 would be (or have been). Larger airports -- bush fields -- ???Barry

I believe it was intended to be a private business transport.Bob Hoover had a great airshow routine in an Aero Commander. He would do a barrel roll right after takeoff, and then commence a series of very smooth and relaxed loops and rolls. On approach to land, he would cut the engines, glide in, and taxi power-off back to his starting point... a real showman.Ken

There used to be one based out of my hometown of Bozeman, Montana that would fly a small business owner to Missoula and Salt Lake City every week. Guess you could fly it and get a sense.regards,Ryan
