XC-CIE  Rockwell Commander 500            (c/n  500-776-68)

                                       

                                             This shot was taken at Santa Monica's Executive Aviation hangar the day after the aircraft had
                                             relinquished its US registration of N6271B.   The identity of the government agency for whom it
                                             was acquired cannot be identified.    This FBO was the chief Aero Commander dealership on
                                             the West Coast.  I photographed many Commanders there in the 1950-60s.     In March 1977
                                             this aircraft was sold in Canada, becoming CF-BFE.
