AOPA Names 2005 Contest Plane

It's A Commander 112A!

Drum roll, please -— AOPA has announced its 2005 project airplane is a Commander 112 with a state-of-the-art Chelton FlightLogic instrument panel. The GA advocacy group says it has already purchased a 1974 Commander 112A for the Commander Countdown Sweepstakes. The aircraft is now headed to the avionics shop to be morphed into what AOPA promises will be "the finest flying test bed of advanced aviation technology you've ever seen."

Over the next year, AOPA will install the twin FlightLogic color displays with their solid-state gyros system, a stack of the latest avionics, a datalink weather system, and a shiny new Lycoming engine.

Outside, AOPA members will help choose a new paint scheme. Inside, the winner will be swaddled in a brand new interior.

The Commander Countdown airplane will be at all the big aviation shows in 2005.
