Same airplane, I believe, but a different angle.

690A Morphed.. FAA Registry shows this "N" number to have been assigned.
sort of odd as the "N" goes back to 1930.

I like the factory picture! Those look like 690s to me, but it's hard to tell.

Steve- Flown quite often apparently for the company that developed the engine, Turbomeca Astafan, did the same to a 680V.
Google: 'F-BXAS' lots of info and some good pics of the 690...

In college in the early 90's I had a photography class and I found this picture I had taken on the ramp of KCVO.  Transient, not based .

Paint scheme looks very similar to ship on the top of website.

690A or B, probably. That's a pretty common paint scheme on Commanders. Mine is a variation on that one. I wish I could see the tail number!

Do you have some in the archives, Bruce?

These are great - keep 'em coming!

Don - I have a trove of stuff that I need to sort through and will post someday.   Compared to Swede's dirt strip videos, however, I have nothing!
