dapper993, I doubt very much that it would come under Part 25.

You really can't compare this aircraft, meant to be a Part 23 VLJ/"personal jet", with any transport category certified business jet.

Same here. Agreed.

Being an all push rod bell crank flight control system, there is no “slop” within the flight controls. Probably one of the better hand flying aircraft in the sky today. Flaps would have a tendency to get a bit out of rig, but check and adjusted at every 100 inspection.

There are more aircraft out there that have been repossessed that offer better luxuries and goodies for the buck versus the jet powered Aerostar. Yes… the price tag is steep for a re-engined aircraft unless you want to be the only kid on the block to have such a unique aircraft.

Now someone needs to hang some jets on the Aero-Commander 690.

I would like to see what Hoover could do with a rig like that.
