Twin Commander 500

Thanks to John Papageorge for the stunning shot of his 1976 500S Shrike Commander. He reports good parts and service support through Twin Commander.

Years ago, the legendary Bob Hoover proved the 500-series Rockwell Shrike Commander’s nimble handling with an eye-widening airshow routine that will forever live on. But for more typical missions, the 500 Twin Commander rates high for owner satisfaction and dispatch reliability. 

It’s simply a well-constructed and durable high-wing piston twin that doesn’t make blistering speed, but it’s fast enough to chew up the miles for personal and business travel.
