Hitchcock Aviation is proud to present this 1962 Aero Commander Turbocharged 500A. This Aero Commander 500 Shrike is a light-twin turbocharged piston workhorse aircraft. The Shrike is popular with pilots, because it was extremely "pilot friendly" and with its 320 hp turbocharged engines performance and safety is perfect for business, family, and part 135 contract work. A good number of 500 Shrikes are still operated on contracts for cargo and fire control applications, as their piston engines offer good fuel specifics at low altitudes and longer loiter times. 8,182 TT, 1327 SMOH Both Engines, 409 SPOH Both Props, Garmin GNS 530, Garmin GTX 335G. 7400 Gross Weight STC, 216 Gallons useable, Oxygen, A/C.
