Every so often as I go through my old negs I come across one that strikes my fancy for some reason. This is a US Army Rockwell NU-9D Aero Commander, 57-6531, photographed in 1967. Prior to 1962 it was designated NL-26D. Only one of this variant existed.

It strikes me that this would be a fun not-especially-bank-breaking warbird.

Yeah... twins are cheaper because you've only got two of everything and you get a discount at WARBIRD DEPOT!

But if you REALLY wanna save money get four engines.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

( I was gonna put a "But seriously" comment in, but the second cuppa joe ain't kicked in yet, and I can't think of one EXCEPT that IS a nice looking UTI bird!)

For REAL savings get a B-36 or a B-52...and THINK how many folks you can cram in it to take to airshows and all that gas money those folks can chip in to help defray costs even more.... :wink:

Hmmm,
A friend of ours did a few low approaches at Plum Island a week ago in his Twin Commander 1000. Maybe we could talk him into putting stars and bars on it?
