N6236B Aero Commander 720 Alti
Cruiser (c/n 700-621-2)
The Aero Commander 720 was the World's first
pressurized light twin. Basically a model 680 with
pressurized
cabin, extended wing and increased gross weight, only 13 were built.
N6326B above
was the second, and this shot was
taken at the distributors at Santa Monica Airport in 1960. The
air scoop for
the pressurization system can just be discerned on the cabin roof flush
with the inboard
flap.
