Grand Commander

I've always been fascinated by the big engine 680F and FL. There's very little info out there since the old site went away. Here is a pilot report from 1963

I have always thought the short body 680F was really cool. That article makes the claim that the long body has the same, or even better performance, which I find a bit hard to believe.
