When is the next twin commander university?
« on: January 14, 2018, 09:33:47 pm »
When I was thinking about buying a Commander I went to the Scottsdale Commander university.  I don think there has been one since?

It was a nice way to meet vendors and other Commander pilots.

Anybody heard anything?

Sounds like something fun to go to but no, haven't ever heard of it.  The best course (if you can call it that) that I've had was going up to Bill Leff in Ohio.  He did a pretty good job going through all the systems on my plane.

What I went to in Scottsdale was like what the MU-2 PROP convention is.

A long weekend of presentations and discussions on everything Commander.

Lots of vendors and some speakers on topics like radar usage or trips around the world.

It was organized by Twin Commander.

I learned a lot just sitting in the back row listening.  The only person I knew was Bruce and we had only emailed up till then.

Yeah, I'd love to go to the next one if there is one.

I hope they'll have another one as well. I just found out yesterday that Matt Isley, who was the CEO of Twin Commander, is now working at Aero Air.

Any word on this? I would be interested in going if it was west of the Mississippi and fit into my schedule... or maybe east if it really fit well into my schedule.

If I remember correctly, the universities were always out on the west coast. 
We are all alone out here in Philly!

Seems to me that in recent years, it has been on the east coast, but I could be wrong. Anyway, west coast is much easier for me...

Was in Scottsdale, AZ before that Colorado

Have it on good authority the new President is tossing around the "when and "where" for next April or thereabouts.  But heaps of stuff on his plate already with the new position.
So I suppose we will have to wait and see.

I don't know nothin from nothin - but we could ask Bruce if Byerly Aviation in Peoria would host a Commander University.  I think PIA is west of the Mississippi.  It is sort of central to the USA.  I have never been to a Commander University - but I would love to go.

Who organized the last one (s)?

I called Twin Commander yesterday and talked to Brian Harbaugh.  He said there could be a Twin Commander University for 2019.  I mentioned Peoria, IL as a location at Byerly Aviation.  I also floated the idea with Bruce Byerly.

My Dad used to say the sweaky wheel gets the oil.  Maybe if you all have the motivation we could ping Twin Commander CEO and team a little here and there.  We could also volunteer (did I write that?) to help.

T.C. 919-956-4300.

That is my report for today.
