I miss my ex-boss’s Aero Commander 690 with the twin 435-hp Continental GTSIO-520K engines... What a plane!

For those in Rio Linda....the GTSIO means:

Geared, Turbosupercharged and Injected as in Fuel Injection.

Hubba Hubba, high maintenance, but a sound that can be enjoyed by all gear-heads....
