About the Aero Commander 500 family
Coordination and observation aircraft
It carries the observers and radios that organize the air operation. It locates and assesses the fire, identifies safe drop runs, separates aircraft in the incident airspace, and guides tankers; it normally carries no water or retardant.
What this type can do
The long-wing Jetprop Commander 1000 is a fast, powerful bird dog with room for an Air Attack Officer and communications equipment. It observes the fire, leads tankers onto safe drop paths, and separates aircraft in restricted airspace; it carries no water or retardant.
This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.
The Aero Commander 500 family is a series of light twin piston-engined and turboprop aircraft originally built by the Aero Design and Engineering Company in the late 1940s, renamed the Aero Commander company in 1950, and later a division of Rockwell International in 1965. Final production occurred in 1986 under the Gulfstream Aerospace name. The initial production version was the 200 mph, seven-seat Aero Commander 520. An improved version, the 500S, manufactured after 1967, is known as the Shrike Commander. Larger variants are known by numerous model names and designations, ranging up to the 330 mph, 11-seat Model 695B/Jetprop 1000B turboprop. As of recent, the Aero Commander is known as the Twin Commander.
