Waiting for the NTSB report rather than the second guessing of the MSM .....Aero Commander is a nice plane.
One incorrect statement in the article was that it was an Aero Commander 500 turboprop. There is no such Aero Commander. All Aero Commander 500’s are piston powered aircraft. Owned one myself once.
I am familiar with the company in Kansas City and as far as I know all of their aircraft are Aero Comander 500B’s.
Pilot once told me that all landings were just controlled crashes....some better than others!
